A mechanical engineering degree with a computational design specialization highlights students' focus and proficiency in using computational methods for
creating and enhancing structural, thermal, and fluid systems in engineering contexts. Those holding this degree play key roles in developing, constructing, and evaluating nearly every modern product. Mechanical engineering students can tailor their studies to align with personal interests and professional aspirations through concentrations like biomechanical engineering, engineering mechanics, global engineering, or manufacturing engineering. Learning facilities feature a comprehensive Engineering Machine Shop, an Industrial Project Lab, and specialized labs for hands-on training in vibrations and controls, heat transfer, fluids, and experimental mechanics. Research laboratories concentrate on cardiovascular and tissue mechanics, thermal engineering, biomechanical design, and investigations at the Composite Vehicle Research Center and Energy and Automotive Research Lab.
