After completing the Fundamentals of Engineering course and learning the mathematics and science (physics, chemistry) foundation courses necessary for the study of engineering science, students proceed with the materials science, solid and fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, machine design, and system dynamics. Elective courses in Mechanics and Material Sciences, Design and Manufacturing, Mechatronics, and Energy Systems are pursued toward career goals. A team-based senior project completes the technical education.

The Mechanical Engineering curriculum is constructed to include abundant experiential learning. This is accomplished through the integration of laboratory experiences within the framework of the theoretical courses in the basic curriculum, and by making use of well-equipped laboratories and computing facilities. Concentrations in manufacturing engineering, control systems and automation engineering are available in this program, with a focus on robotics and automation, feedback and product and process design, and manufacturing systems. A multidisciplinary field, it integrates knowledge from the areas of science, mathematics, computers, mechanical engineering, electronics engineering, and automation. Following courses in fundamental engineering knowledge, students learn how to apply sound scientific principles to solve practical problems in industry in the area of manufacturing engineering. This concentration places an emphasis on the application of computer systems to modern manufacturing by means of topics such as robotics, computer-aided design (CAD), hydraulics and pneumatics systems (H&P), programmable logic controllers (PLC), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) and computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM).

Mechanical engineers study the behavior of solids, liquids and gases when forces are applied to them and when they are heated and cooled. They learn how to convert energy efficiently from one form to another. Using this knowledge base, mechanical engineers play key roles in the design of transportation systems, including automobiles and space vehicles; environmental control systems and processes, including robots; energy conversion technology, including engines and power plants; biomedical devices; and so on. The tremendous breadth of Mechanical Engineering gives mechanical engineers access to employment in every major industry.

Mechanical engineers have traditionally been concerned with a great variety of technologies, such as energy conversion, machine design, instrumentation and control of physical processes, and control of the environment. Mechanical engineers fill essential roles in the entire spectrum of industrial enterprises, including even apparently “non-mechanical” ones such as the aerospace, chemical, computer and electrical power industries. Some new and exciting areas currently demanding mechanical engineers’ expertise include the artificial organ (heart, lungs, kidneys) and prosthetic limb and joint design, high-performance composite materials development, flexible manufacturing, mechanical design automation, and the control of industrial environmental pollution.
