Mechanical engineering focuses on studying, creating, and building systems, machines, devices, and technologies that transform mechanical, electrical, and thermal energy. Opting for Florida Tech's mechanical engineering program places you in a curriculum recognized by the Fiske Guide's Engineering/Top Technical Institutes and Parade Magazine's College A-List in Engineering.
Whether your goal is to craft more efficient power systems, pioneer automation techniques, or develop cutting-edge machinery, Florida Tech's mechanical engineering degree provides robust engineering fundamentals and hands-on training in areas like instrumentation and thermal dynamics.
The field of mechanical engineering spans four key disciplines: structural design, thermal-fluid dynamics, automation systems, and materials science with manufacturing. You'll begin specializing early in your degree, taking foundational classes such as Mechanical Engineering Fundamentals and Physics with Calculus during your first year. Advanced elective courses enable specialization in emerging fields like systems engineering, nuclear applications, and energy systems, enhancing your appeal to potential employers.
