BSc in Mechanical Engineering - Energy Systems and Environmental 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 in professional settings across industry, government, and academia by applying and expanding their engineering science knowledge, problem-solving abilities, and communication skills; (2) serve as team members and leaders while upholding ethical and inclusive principles, including the ASME code of ethics, within and beyond conventional Mechanical Engineering fields; 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, and achieving these goals is a collaborative effort between students and UCI.) The undergraduate Mechanical Engineering program builds on a base of mathematics, physics, and chemistry, with engineering courses in core areas making up most of the remaining coursework. 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 areas more broadly. The curriculum culminates in a senior capstone design project.
