Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering/Master of Business Administration in Newark United States | University of Delaware

The College of Engineering and the Lerner College of Business and Economics provide a collaborative five-year program culminating in a bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline and a Master of Business Administration.

As one of engineering's broadest fields, mechanical engineering focuses on designing and analyzing machines, structures, and materials using physics and materials science principles. Mechanical engineers work across industries—designing vehicles, aircraft, and robotics, creating sustainable energy solutions, medical equipment, and advanced composite materials.
Fluid and aerodynamics: Mechanical engineers utilize gas and fluid physics to develop systems such as climate control units, heating systems, medical ventilators, engine cooling mechanisms, and aerospace vehicles.

Biomechanics: The human body functions as a mechanical system with fluid dynamics and structural elements. Mechanical engineers pioneer biomechanics advances, including medical device innovation and human movement analysis and improvement.

Composite materials: Composite materials are now essential in wind turbine blades, athletic equipment, and aerospace components, with mechanical engineers driving progress in advanced material applications.

Design: Engineering design integrates scientific principles to develop new devices and processes that enhance daily life—transforming concepts into tangible solutions.

Environmental applications: Mechanical engineering principles help model pollutant transport in oceans and atmospheres and analyze particle behavior.

Manufacturing: Contemporary manufacturing relies on machinery (including 3D printing for additive manufacturing) created by mechanical engineers.

Robotics: Autonomous machines serve in industrial automation, space missions, medical procedures, hazardous material handling, and domestic tasks. Self-driving vehicles represent another robotics application.

Smart materials and control systems: Mechanical engineers leverage advanced materials to create innovative sensors and actuators, including artificial muscles, shape-memory alloys, self-repairing materials, and thermoelectric/piezoelectric components.
