What Protestant, Evangelical Christian colleges have the best engineering programs?

You might not pick based on your religious afiliation. If you want to be an engineer and want to be a GOOD engineer, choose the school based on academics, not religious afiliation....

You might check US News and World Report to see if any of the colleges even made the list. I know they evaluate private schools so I can't imagine they'd intentionally exclude Christian colleges.
Otherwise visit the colleges and ask questions like how are their ties with the business community, where their graduating students are working now, etc.

That's right, stick to your beliefs, don't let these heathens tell you to go to a good school. Everybody knows God won't let you into heaven if you didn't go to a Christian college. Oh, to get into heaven you also have to maintain at least a 2.0 GPA too.

Seriously you fvcking flamebait trolls, STFU. He's got a legitimate question.
Riprorin, I'm surprised, though, that you haven't figured out that AT is the WRONG place to say anything about christianity without getting ripped to shreds.
Good luck.

A legitimate question, rather than a troll question, would have a legitimate reason for asking, rather than a troll reason for asking.
While it's hardly polite, there's no reason to believe that my question is any more torlling than the op.
Goes to motive. The OP has shown himself be exceptionally trollish in the past

may as well just be a liberal arts major
Rip, can you specify what you mean by "Christian?" Are we talking about AMERICAN CHRISTIAN schools like Liberty, BJU, or some of the Mormon universities like BYU or will better-known (and arguably academically more prestigeous) "Christian" schools like Trinity , Swarthmore , Haverford, Duke, Villanova, and Georgetown work?
A degree from any of the latter will command respect and high salaries from almost anywhere you go - the former, less so, I'm guessing.

I think the lesson here is with the right schooling, any die hard partisan can sound like a middle aged redneck.
Seriously though, speaking to you in terms that you understand Riproin, you reward will potentially be far greater if you venture where all is not safe and still succeed.
And probably every university in the country has a Christian group of some sort.

Oh, just thought of something. Grace University (a good college, IMO) in Omaha does a dual-degree program where you go to UNO for your technology classes and then Grace for your liberal arts classes. That might be a good alternative to look into.
FWIW, UNO has an excellent architectural engineering program, and pretty good (based on what my friends say) civil, computer, and electrical engineering programs. I'm computer science myself and that program is outstanding but you're probably not interested in CS.

A little harsh, but I agree. I don't think Rip is shopping for a college himself:
I don't know if there are any religious colleges with top-notch engineering programs. I do know that it is easy to be involved in religious organizations, regardless of what school you go to. There are even secular schools with associated religious colleges/residences.
The university of Waterloo, in Ontario, has several associated colleges (one catholic and three protestant). The mennonite one is probably the best choice for a residence with a strong protestant lifestyle. I highly doubt that this is the only school in North America with such arrangements available.
I would recommend looking into these, as well as 'exclusively' religious institutions, if social concerns and academic concerns are both very important to you.
