The Jefferson Mechanical Engineering BSE program holds accreditation from ABET's Engineering Accreditation Commission. Foundational courses build your science, mathematics, and engineering analysis capabilities, advancing to contemporary tools like computer-aided design, mathematical modeling, and manufacturing equipment including metal machining and 3-D printing. Engineering design instruction begins in your first semester and intensifies through upper-level courses, culminating in a two-semester senior design project. For instance, senior mechanical engineering students recently developed, produced, and assessed a guide dog harness that reduces canine stress. This innovation may decrease early retirements of service dogs due to arthritis from conventional harness designs. Graduates meet the qualifications to seek professional engineering (PE) licensure.
