On Monday we hosted Union University‘s first Engineering Expo and it was well received by students and local industry partners. 19 companies were represented and gave our students insights into the day to day world of West Tennessee engineering. Thanks to everyone who helped make this event a success and to all the alumni who were present.

Great times at Pathways to Possibilities showcasing Union University, The Hub at Union University, and opportunities in engineering. Partnering with others in our community to expose 8th graders to careers in engineering and seeing our students engage with them as they check out their work is exciting.

Engineering faculty members tour Reinhausen‘s training center in Humboldt, TN to explore new partnership opportunities for Union University engineering students. The training center provides a fascinating behind the scenes look at how our power grid functions.

The engineering department at Union University is organizing an Engineering Expo in the Ethos Forum on August 31. Alumni and friends in local industry, we hope that you can join us to connect with our engineering students and provide them with insights into the many exciting career opportunities for engineers. If you would like to join us for the engineering Expo or would like more information, please contact Dr. Pingen - [email protected].

The goal of this event is not to be a traditional career fair. We want our students—especially freshmen—to meet practicing engineers and see the incredible variety of things engineers get to design, build, solve, and create. However, the Engineering Expo is also a great opportunity to begin building relationships with engineering students as they look ahead at future internships and job opportunities.

Learn "How to make (almost) Anything" (EGR/UNI 295) or "Innovate with Purpose" (MGT 498) in two hands-on 1-credit courses offered this fall at Union University. For more information, contact Dr. Pingen ([email protected]) or check out the HUB website - https://hub.uu.edu/courses.

Classes start tomorrow and we are excited to welcome one of the largest engineering Freshmen classes to Union University this fall. The class includes our first Civil Engineering concentration majors.

If you are interested in learning how to use 3D printers, laser cutters, UV printers, sublimation presses, a 6 needle embroidery and many of the other tools in a makerspace, check out "How to make (almost) anything!" UNI/EGR 295 offered this fall at Union University on Tuesdays from 1:40-4:20.

This spring 6 students participated in the How To Make (Almost) Anything course and learned all about the technologies in The Maker’s Space.

Engineering majors Emma Bogle, William Brady, Jordan Prunty, Joshua Fugate, and Jake Pingen are interning at Young Touchstone (Wabtec Corporation) in Jackson this summer working on a wide range of projects from manufacturing to research.

Union University Engineering students are prepared for a wide variety of career opportunities and as a department we love to hear where God leads them. Engineering senior Stacia Talbott is interning with MARS at the Jackson Pringles plant and 2026 engineering alum Landon Haywood just started a full time engineering position with Mars after interning last summer.

Thanks Mars/Pringles for providing opportunities for our students and alumni.
