"I think I’ve had a better education at Dordt than I would have had elsewhere, because of the small class sizes. I’ve been able to talk more with my professors and get to know them. I’ve been able to see improvement over my four years because of what I’ve studied and what I’ve chosen to spend my time on."

Sample Courses

Elements of Materials Science

Students will learn how atomic and molecular arrangements, as well as manufacturing processes, influence the mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties of a material.

Statics

Students will analyze concentrated and distributed force systems applied to static particles, rigid bodies, trusses, frames, and machines to examine the effects of forces applied to bodies in equilibrium.
