This concentration aims to give students chances to expand their cultural awareness while working toward becoming professional engineers. Immersing oneself in another culture greatly enhances the ability to comprehend and value different perspectives, ultimately boosting graduates' career prospects and performance in the international job market. The program enables students to study abroad for at least one semester, earning credits through elective courses at partner institutions. Collaborative agreements have been formed with departments in countries like Korea, Taiwan, and the UK, with potential future partnerships in Australia, India, Singapore, and South Africa.
Mechanical engineering graduates play vital roles in creating, developing, and evaluating nearly all modern products. Students pursuing this major can tailor their education through specialized tracks in biomechanical engineering, engineering mechanics, global engineering, or manufacturing engineering. Hands-on learning occurs in facilities like the Engineering Machine Shop, Industrial Project Lab, and specialized labs for vibrations, controls, heat transfer, fluids, and experimental mechanics. Research areas include cardiovascular mechanics, thermal engineering, biomechanical design, and investigations at the Composite Vehicle Research Center and Energy and Automotive Research Lab.
