Bachelor of Science in Engineering - Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest and most general fields of engineering. Combining some of the basic elements found in electrical and civil engineering with more in-depth use of mechanical design and thermal science principles, a mechanical engineering education will provide its students with the tools required to solve a wide range of technological problems.Mechanical engineers work on the design, development, analysis, production, and testing of a wide variety of devices, products, and systems. The devices and systems developed by mechanical engineers can be found in many fields, including energy conversion, power generation, environmental control, manufacturing, materials handling and processing, and transportation and construction equipment.The mechanical engineering curriculum is based upon fundamental engineering science courses in mechanics, the thermal sciences, mechanical design, and controls. Students also take courses in experimentation, computer-aided engineering, vibrations, and mechatronics. A variety of technical elective courses are also offered. With these courses, a student can either pursue a general mechanical engineering education, or can tailor a program of study towards a concentration in either thermal sciences or mechanical systems.
