BSc in Mechanical Engineering - Aerospace Engineering in Irvine United States | University of California Irvine

Program graduates will possess the professional and scientific training necessary to thrive as practicing engineers and in advanced degree programs. They will be equipped to (1) work effectively in industrial, governmental, and academic settings by applying and expanding their engineering science knowledge, problem-solving abilities, and communication skills, (2) serve as collaborative team members and leaders while upholding ethical and inclusive principles, including the ASME code of ethics, across mechanical engineering and related disciplines, and (3) stay abreast of technological advancements and contemporary scientific, environmental, and social concerns, continuously enhancing their capabilities through lifelong learning. (Program educational objectives guide curriculum development, with their attainment being a joint endeavor between students and UCI.) The undergraduate Mechanical Engineering program establishes a base in mathematics, physics, and chemistry, with engineering courses in core areas forming the bulk of the remaining studies. Technical electives enable students to focus on Aerospace Engineering, Energy Systems and Environmental Engineering, Flow Physics and Propulsion Systems, or Design of Mechanical Systems, or to explore these fields more broadly. The curriculum culminates in a senior capstone design project.
