Program Description

The Mechanical Engineering major is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABETThis major is designed to provide a broad background in the fundamentals of the discipline as well as to offer an introduction to the many professional and technical areas in which mechanical engineers work. The program covers both major streams of mechanical engineering.

  1. Mechanical systems, design, and materials processing is concerned with the design, analysis, testing, and manufacture of machinery, vehicles, devices, and systems. Other topics covered are engineering materials, computer-aided design, vibrations, dynamics and control systems. Particular areas of concentration are robotics, vehicle engineering, space systems and biomechanic.

  2. Engineering of fluids, energy, and thermal systems is concerned with the efficient conversion of energy, aerospace and surface transportation, the environmental impact of engineering activity (including pollutants and noise), aeronautics, and the experimental and theoretical aspects of fluid flow, heat transfer, thermodynamics, and combustion. Specific areas of concentration include aerospace engineering, energy and the environment, and thermo-fluids engineering.
