Bachelor of Science - Engineering - Mechanical

The Bachelor of Science in Engineering in the School of Mathematics, Science and Engineering develops highly skilled, highly educated engineering professionals ready to succeed in the lab, in the field or in the C-suite.

The Mechanical track is a hands-on concentration that includes courses covering the following topics, among others - mechanical vibrations, degrees of freedom for movement in a structure, stress analysis of elastic solids, finite elements, stress in solids, fatigue failure, gears, springs, thermophysical properties, heat transfer and heat exchangers. Students can expect to explore the inner workings of complex machines like vehicles and industrial equipment. Graduates specializing in this track are also prepared to pursue a graduate degree in mechanical engineering.

The demand for engineers in the United States (U.S.) grows every year. The modern engineer must be able to balance technology with the real-world concerns of human resources and social issues. They are critical in fields as diverse as urban planning, product development, robotics and machines that people and industries count on every day.

Graduates can pursue positions in civil engineering, robotics, transportation and aerospace, product design, construction, mechanical design and many more. The U.S. military and government are also major employers of engineering graduates as engineering technicians, researcher, computer engineering technician, and project managers.
