Mechanical Engineering B.M.E.

Mechanical engineering is involved in most technological activities of society and dominates many fields, including automotive, transportation, materials handling, environmental and pollution control systems, refrigeration and cryogenics, power systems design, automation, system dynamics and control, computer-aided design and manufacturing, capital equipment design, and consumer products production. A mechanical engineer may be engaged in design, development, research, testing, manufacturing, administration, marketing, consulting, or education.

When you study mechanical engineering, a strong background in mathematics, physics, and chemistry is balanced with courses in engineering science and applied engineering. The department offers several elective and cross-disciplinary programs that provide further in-depth study in designated areas of the profession. These include: system design and control; manufacturing engineering; computer-aided design; thermodynamics and heat transfer; environmental engineering; power and propulsion; materials engineering; bioengineering; and mechanical-electrical engineering.

The program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org.
