Pursue a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and acquire the expertise to envision future innovations in engines, instruments, robotics, and automotive design. Prepare to craft cutting-edge machinery for the 21st century within the most foundational engineering field. Mechanical engineers may tackle challenges such as retrofitting machines and systems for renewable energy applications, advancing digital technology and life sciences via nanotechnology, and developing power grids, hydraulic pumps, and automated manufacturing processes. To become a mechanical engineer, you need the ability to represent design concepts graphically, mathematically, and in 3D. Furthermore, mechanical engineers must forecast how mechanisms will manage energy and withstand stress. Accordingly, the 128-credit program covers forces in static and dynamic systems, solid and fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, heat and energy conversion processes, and material properties. The Mechanical Engineering BS also demands rigorous mathematics, including differential equations and engineering statistics. Additionally, you will gain proficiency in creating engineering graphics and applying computer-aided design (CAD) methods.
