Mechanical Engineering from the University of San Diego is one of the oldest branches of engineering, where the principles of engineering, math and physics meet imagination and creativity to keep things running?in the simplest of ways to the most complex.

Mechanical engineers research, develop, design and manufacture engines, machines and other mechanical devices for the benefit of society, such as:

  • Power-producing machines: automobile and jet engines, bicycle gear systems, hovercraft and space vehicle engines, ocean-vessel systems, fuel-efficient engines
  • Power-using machines: air-conditioners, air purifiers and systems, robots, machine tools, roller coasters, water-cooling heat exchangers and manufacturing equipment
  • Medical devices: prosthetic hands and limbs, braces, mobility equipment
  • Educational and household items: educational toys for kids, safety gadgets, self-propelling vacuums

Mechanical engineers are also at the forefront of newly developed technologies, such as:

  • Bioengineering
  • Nanoengineering
  • Environmental enginee
