Mechanical engineering students gain extensive hands-on experience through activities ranging from flight simulations and satellite launches to creating biomedical innovations and 3D-printed drones. Connect with fellow students and participate in competitions by joining organizations like the Society for Women in Engineering or the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. To address the growing need for stronger, more efficient, and cost-effective designs, modern engineered systems are increasingly complex and incorporate numerous diverse subsystems. Today's Mechanical Engineers must possess design thinking skills for complex systems to effectively collaborate with various subsystem design specialists. To equip graduates with these design thinking capabilities and technical expertise, the mechanical engineering undergraduate program is built around a sequence of design courses. The curriculum features cornerstone and capstone courses while developing comprehensive proficiency in four key areas—Thermofluid Engineering, Solid Mechanics, System Dynamics and Control, and Design and Manufacturing—that are vital for students' career achievement.
