• Mechanical Engineering is among the broadest and most versatile of the engineering professions. It includes robotics, control systems, mechatronics, medical devices, environmentally conscious energy systems including buildings, transportation, and renewable energy, machine design, solid mechanics, materials, including composites, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, manufacturing, or a combination of these fields as is often the case in the development of complex systems. Mechanical engineers can pursue careers in design, testing, manufacturing, research and development, sales, management, and consulting.
  • The Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) program contains 79 credits of mechanical engineering coursework and 56 credits of other math, science, and engineering coursework.
  • The mechanical engineering department changes its elective offerings every year and strives to provide a range of both contemporary and relevant topics to supplement the major program requirements. Students should work closely with their faculty advisor to discuss upcoming offerings to learn when different electives will be offered.
