Welcome to Mercer University’s School of Engineering
At Mercer’s School of Engineering, our commitment to pushing the world forward goes beyond the physical—to the emotional—to the issues, problems and solutions that move us the most. We take a faculty member’s mission and make it into a prosthetic prototype that moves communities forward. When a school for the blind puts out a seemingly impossible ask, we turn high school memories into a sensory experience. We combine academic rigor and experiential learning with empathy and compassion—to help some of the best engineers in the country land some of the best jobs on the planet. At Mercer, we are moved to do more.

about Academic Programs
One thing I love about Mercer Engineering is that our engineers are cross-trained in multiple specialties. I know that with a Mercer Engineering degree, I will be able to find a job in a wide array of disciplines.
Mary Connell, BSE '20, MSE '21
I am grateful to be part of such positive lab environments and know that I would not have had many of the amazing opportunities that have been presented to me without the support of Mercer, my professors, and my fellow lab members. These experiences have taught me to be meticulous, dedicated, and to remain passionate about research even when facing challenges.

Engineering Goldwaters
Mercer University is a leader among U.S. higher education institutions in the number of engineering students who have received the Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship—the nation’s most prestigious scholarship for undergraduates in science, mathematics, and engineering.
Sara Binet
Environmental Engineering '22
"It is such an honor to be named a Goldwater Scholar. I am proud to be a part of such a long history of excellence, and I look forward to seeing where this opportunity takes me in my research."
Ebonye Smith
Electrical Engineering '22
"I am thankful and proud of myself of receiving this prestigious award. I want to give thanks to Dr. Makhin Thitsa for working as my mentor and continuing to push me to strive for excellence."
Sarah Spalding
Biomedical Eningeering '22
"I could not have achieved this without the help of my mentors, including Dr. Sinjae Hyun, Dr. Joanna Thomas, and Dr. Lee Troupe. I am so blessed to have such an amazing support system."
Research and Innovation
At Mercer, we believe that theory and practice go hand-in-hand. We ask “how can this work better” and then search for answers together. We find what touches our hearts and minds, and then, collectively, we make it with our hands.
