**This program is not currently accepting new students.**
The Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering is a 120-credit undergraduate degree designed to prepare students for professional practice, graduate study, and lifelong learning in mechanical engineering. The curriculum emphasizes applied learning, hands-on experimentation, and the use of modern engineering tools. Students gain broad experience through coursework in mechanics, materials, thermofluids, design, manufacturing, and control systems, culminating in a two-semester senior design project.
Program Educational Objectives
Graduates of the Mechanical Engineering program will:
- Be prepared for entry-level engineering positions in areas such as design, manufacturing, energy systems, and robotics.
- Apply mechanical-engineering principles to the design, analysis, and improvement of thermal and mechanical systems.
- Demonstrate professional ethics, teamwork, and effective communication in engineering practice.
- Pursue lifelong learning, professional licensure, or advanced study in related fields
Student Learning Outcomes
Upon graduation, students will be able to:
- Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
- Apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
- Communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
- Recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments that consider the global, economic, environmental, and societal impacts of engineering solutions.
- Function effectively on teams that provide leadership, create collaborative environments, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
- Develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
- Acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
