The field of mechanical engineering (ME) is concerned with the mechanical, thermal, and fluid-flow aspects of all of these systems, including computer and feedback control of complex systems. As a mechanical engineering student at the University of Utah, you will learn the professional, technical, critical thinking, and communication skills you need to be successful and make meaningful contributions to this exciting field.

The Student Experience

The ME curriculum consists of courses in math, physics, and chemistry, in addition to coursework in ME concepts: students learn thermal-fluids, solid mechanics, mechatronics, and other pertinent topics, including an eight-month capstone design course. The ME degree additionally offers students the option to complete one of 12 emphases, allowing them to tailor their program to best fit their strengths and interests.
