Mechanical engineers are innovative thinkers who create, build, and maintain the machinery and tools that power our world's infrastructure, from energy networks to transportation solutions. Their work spans diverse fields, including medical equipment, various vehicle designs, automated systems, climate control technology, and energy generation facilities.
The Mechanical Engineering curriculum combines foundational science and math with practical engineering coursework in design and computing. A wide array of classes enhances critical thinking abilities. The program culminates in a comprehensive senior design project, preparing students for professional engineering roles. Additionally, students select specialized courses from concentrations like energy systems, automotive technology, materials science, production methods, mechanical dynamics, automation, computer simulations, and medical engineering. Hands-on laboratory work reinforces practical design, modeling, and analysis capabilities.
