Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (Energy Engineering)

With a B.S.M.E. concentration in energy engineering, you’ll study at the intersection of engineering with power generation. The program guides youthrough mechanical engineering courses, then provides technical electives including metrology, nuclear engineering, electric vehicles and materials science. By focusing the four technical electives in the area of energy, you’ll learn skills in a variety of related disciplines, including automotive power plants, nuclear engineering, turbomachinery and more. Students completing the requirements described in this program receive a special designation on their transcripts showing successful completion of the concentration. Graduates from the program are on the path to becoming highly sought-after energy professionals who are more marketable and adaptable to the changing marketplace for engineers.

Students should have graduated from an approved or accredited high school or have earned a high school equivalency certificate or G.E.D. The high school course units should include the following: 4 units in English, emphasizing grammar, composition and literature; 4 units in mathematics, including Algebra I, Algebra II and geometry, and a higher level mathematics course for which Algebra II is a prerequisite; 2 units in social studies, including one unit in U.S. history; and 3 units in science, including at least one unit in a life or biological science (e.g., biology), at least one unit in a physical science (e.g., chemistry, physics, physical science), and at least one laboratory course; two additional academic units of English, Mathematics, science, social studies, world languages or computer science.
