About This Program

The BS in the Mechanical Engineering degree program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the General Criteria and the Program Criteria for Mechanical Engineering and Similarly Named Engineering programs. The mission of the B.S. in mechanical engineering degree program is to provide a rigorous educational experience that prepares a select group of students for leadership positions in the profession and a lifetime of learning. The faculty is committed to maintaining a modern and flexible curriculum which, building on a foundation of basic sciences and mathematics, develops a solid education in the fundamentals and modern applications of mechanical engineering. The aim of the Mechanical Engineering program is to build competence in the design and development of thermal and mechanical systems, and to develop the professional skills necessary to excel as an engineer. The program provides a basic background in thermal and mechanical systems. Laboratory instruction, as well as the senior design project, gives the student hands-on experience. Each student’s program of study is planned in consultation with their academic advisor. Students have the opportunity to complete courses and develop depth in areas of focus within mechanical engineering chosen from fluid mechanics and thermal processes, mechanics of solids, heat transfer and energy, mechanical design, robotics, and biomechanics. The student’s faculty mentor can provide guidance on these focus areas.
