The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers a bachelor's degree and minor in Mechanical Engineering, where students learn how to design and analyze mechanical and thermal systems.
BS in Mechanical Engineering
The ABET-accredited Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering emphasizes a culture of design with an introduction to modern engineering tools through practical design starting freshman year, culminating in a year-long, sponsor-dictated senior design project. Students have access to renovated laboratories, including the Fluids/Thermal Dynamics and Heat Transfer labs at the SciTech campus. The courses, taught by world-class faculty, emphasize mechanics, thermodynamics, materials science, systems control, and mechatronics.
Six Concentrations:
- Aerospace Engineering
- Engineering Design
- Engineering Mechanics
- Microfabrication
- Robotics
- Specialized Facilities
Qualified undergraduate Mechanical Engineering students may obtain a master's degree in Bioengineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, and more in a shorter time-frame through a Bachelor's-to-Accelerated Master's (BAM) pathway.
Minor in Mechanical Engineering
The Mechanical Engineering minor provides a foundation in mechanical engineering and is most appropriate for students with a strong mathematics and science background, such as a major in another engineering or science field.
