Mechanical engineering (ME) encompasses the design, analysis, testing and manufacture of products used in modern society and the conversion of raw energy (fuel, solar, wind, nuclear) into useful power to drive machines and transportation vehicles. Mechanical engineers design components, machines, systems and processes.

Mechanical Engineering appeals to students who are interested in applying their solid backgrounds in math and physical sciences to understand, design, test, and build real-world devices and processes for the improvement of society. Many ME students delight in hands-on design, test and building experiences.

Students will develop an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and general engineering to design and conduct experiments, analyze and interpret data, design systems, components, and processes to meet desired needs.
