About Bachelor of Science - Mechanical Engineering

Program Description

The Bachelor of Science  in Mechanical Engineering program at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University provides a strong foundation in all of the fundamental areas of mechanical engineering. With access to state-of-the-art engineering analysis, design and research, and extensive practical experience to supplement and enhance the theoretical foundation, students graduate with the tools they need to succeed as engineers and innovators in one of the most in-demand career fields.

Students begin this program by completing the College of Engineering’s Freshman Engineering Program. The program includes a General Education core of Speech and College Success, introductions to Engineering and Computing, plus courses in Calculus and Analytical Geometry and Physics for Engineers. The second year is the same as Aerospace Engineering, which gives the student great flexibility when deciding on a major field of study.

The Mechanical Engineering program offers four areas of emphasis, or tracks:

  • Biomedical Systems: Prepares students to become knowledgeable and skilled mechanical engineers with an understanding of the fundamental principles that lead to scientific discovery and technological innovation in the bioengineering and biomedical fields.
  • Energy Systems: For students looking for a career in the growing field of renewable energy with specific emphasis on kinetic energy systems (e.g., wind/water turbines) and thermal energy systems (e.g., solar thermal, combustion).
  • High Performance Vehicles: Prepares students for employment in vehicle design and manufacturing, from competition vehicles to fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly vehicles.
  • Robotic Systems (with an emphasis in Unmanned and Autonomous Vehicle Systems): For students interested in the rapidly expanding robotics field, including applications to the aerospace industry.

The B.S. in Mechanical Engineering builds on the success of ERAU’s highly acclaimed Aerospace Engineering program, so students benefit from the same resources and professional networking opportunities

Students will integrate their knowledge into a robotics, propulsion, or energy capstone design project — or choose an aircraft or spacecraft design project in cooperation with colleagues in the Aerospace Engineering major.

Also at ERAU, students have the opportunity to participate in engineering competitions, locally, nationally, and even globally through a number of different professional organizations represented on campus. These include the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. There are also organizations and clubs that are dedicated to specific projects, research and engineering related recreational pursuits.

The Mechanical Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.
