Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering

About the Major

Modern mechanical engineers find challenging careers in private practice and in industry, building and testing automobiles, airplanes, power planes, and robots. As a Mechanical Engineering student, you'll learn the codes and standards that make these products safe and accessible as they improve the quality of our day-to-day lives. The Mechanical Engineering program deals with vibrations, thermal control, motors, engines, and heat transfer.

Three B.S.M.E. degrees are offered, the other two include concentrations in Acoustics and Manufacturing.

The B.S.M.E. degree with a concentration in Acoustics allows students to graduate with a B.S.M.E degree while concentrating in their upper-level program on acoustical courses such as Sound Technology, Vibrations and Noise Control Design

The B.S.M.E. degree with a concentration in Manufacturing allows students to graduate with a B.S.M.E. degree while learning to apply up-to-date technologies in materials, fabrication, and Computer Aided Design (CAD) to help manufacturers increase productivity and cost-effectiveness.

The Department also offers a minor in Mechanical Engineering.
