Areas of Interest
  • Engineering & Technology
  • Agricultural Sciences
  • Biological & Biomedical Science
Mechanical engineering delves into the design, manufacture and maintenance of all types of machines, from medical prosthetics and robots to energy systems. Mechanical engineers are motion experts. They develop and improve airplanes and agricultural equipment, for example. They also aid in the mechanics of the most complex machine of all, the human body. Students achieving the Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering study physics and materials while homing in on particular interests: dynamics and controls, mechanical design, nanotechnology, solid and fluid mechanics, or thermal sciences. Research opportunities and design projects provide real-world experience during all four years of the undergraduate degree program. Mechanical engineering students can look forward to exciting careers in nearly every industry.
