Mechanical engineering creates the physical systems and machinery that shape contemporary civilization — encompassing everything from climate control systems to vehicles, industrial robots to energy facilities, prosthetic devices to moving stairways, and spacecraft propulsion to environmental monitoring satellites. The field provides nearly boundless potential for developing inventions and innovations that can launch business enterprises.
Through practical computer applications and laboratory exercises in our advanced facilities, the School of Engineering's Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) curriculum instructs students in the fundamental principles of the field and their practical implementation. We additionally cultivate expertise in specialized domains including structural and fluid dynamics, automated control systems, and robotic mechanisms. Our BSME program holds accreditation from ABET's Engineering Accreditation Commission.
Mechanical engineering professionals build careers across multiple sectors such as national security, aeronautics, vehicle manufacturing, and communication technologies. The discipline also maintains a historic legacy of pioneering advances in areas including resource preservation, enhanced performance of energy-using equipment, and sustainable power solutions. New possibilities are developing in medical systems and equipment, alongside nanotechnology and integrated electronic mechanical systems. Furthermore, graduates can leverage their education as a foundation for pursuing law, healthcare, business leadership, or advanced academic studies.
