Mechanical Engineering

Undergraduate students of the Mechanical Engineering program are instilled with the technical tools, ethical foundation, vision and sense of inquiry that will allow them to be team players in the formulation and realization of society's most significant interdisciplinary advances. For example, Graduates of the mechanical option have a wide range of opportunities, for example two recent graduates are now working on rocket fuel propulsion systems, mechanical design of CD-ROM drives, and advanced medical instrumentation devices.

The education in this program that we offer is intended to provide a strong foundation in engineering science and design accompanied by disciplinary focus in mechanical engineering topics such as; mechanical, fluid and thermal systems, intelligent engineering systems and robotics, machine design and computer-aided engineering. The course load is demanding, and students typically take 16-18 hours of class each semester. There is also a one-time, summer field session where students learn practical skills such as machining. The rigor of this education, though, allows students to build a solid foundation and then push it to cutting edge of mechanical engineering research and practice.
