Indiana Wesleyan University is looking to add an engineering program. The university says, pending approval by the Higher Learning Commission, the program is likely to launch in the fall of 2022 and offer four concentrations: Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering.

IWU says the program would also partner with the school’s Division of Art + Design.

“Establishment of an engineering degree with various concentrations provides IWU students with another academic option in a growing, in-demand field,” said Dr. Aly Williams, vice president of academic affairs.

IWU will also offer two new courses in the university’s Pre-Engineering program, Introduction to Engineering and Computer Aided Design that will begin in the 2021-2022 academic year.
