Testimonials

Here’s what some of our students have said:

“George Fox enabled me to take engineering further than the classroom. I was granted to conduct research in various areas of electrical engineering, both in the summer and during the school year. These special projects gave me an edge when looking for a job, as I had taken many projects from the ground up to a complete working and often complicated electronic device.”

“Most employers I have talked to are surprised at how many projects I completed as an undergrad. And the projects were never just theory. The projects were always taken to completion; they were usable devices that you could take home, show others, or put on your portfolio or resume.”

“The faculty taught me how to not only understand the mathematics behind a given subject, but always pushed me to apply it by actually building something that closely related to what we were being taught. Faculty also enabled me to work on projects for the department as a workstudy, teaching a lab course, and doing summer research.”

“After comparing George Fox to other schools, I would say Fox graduates rank equal if not above in technical and book knowledge. I received very good instruction in all areas of mechanical engineering and gained valuable experience through internships and projects.”

“The smaller classes and the ability to have one-on-one teaching distinguishes the program from others. And the fact the university integrates faith with learning taught me not to be intimidated by those with whom I work and to still show my faith.”

“The engineering program is preparing me not only through the numerous courses but also through the many hands-on projects it offers. The senior project is by far the greatest tool in which to introduce a soon-to-be-graduating engineer to the engineering workforce.”

“The program covers so much in its curriculum and has a great student-faculty ratio. The key feature is how the program integrates classroom learning with hands-on projects. The time spent in the machine shop gives students knowledge concerning how basic machining is done in industry so that once they enter the workforce they can relate designs and ideas with how feasible they are to manufacture.”
