International Direct - Bachelor of Engineering - Mechanical Engineering

The curriculum in Mechanical Engineering focuses on the analysis, design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical components and systems. Emphasis is placed on the fundamental concepts of engineering science and design needed in a variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, biotechnology, material and chemical processing, microsystems and sensors, nanotechnology, machinery and robotics, pharmaceutical, energy production and distribution, heating and refrigeration, food production and processing, entertainment, pulp and paper, weapons systems, and many others. Mechanical engineering students take courses in several areas of engineering including: mechanics of rigid and deformable solids, thermo-fluid sciences, energy systems, dynamic systems and controls, design and manufacturing, materials, and electronics.

In compliance with the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET, the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Auburn University has developed and maintained a well-defined set of Program Educational Objectives to assure the quality of our program and graduates. These objectives are broad statements that describe the career and professional accomplishments that the mechanical engineering degree program is preparing the graduates to achieve a few years after graduation.
