Mechanical Engineering
Bachelor of Science Mechanical Engineering is a well-established engineering discipline that involves stateof-the-art engineering analysis, design, and research. Mechanical engineers have been in demand for literally hundreds of years and remain one of the more sought-after degree holders. The common freshman year is the first year of the Mechanical Engineering program. The second year is the same as Aerospace Engineering, which gives the student great flexibility when deciding his or her major field of study. The Mechanical Engineering program offers two areas of emphasis, or tracks, in High Performance Vehicle and Robotic Systems, which add to the breadth of topics in Mechanical Engineering such as machine design, heat transfer, and vibrations. The Robotic Systems track prepares students for the rapidly expanding robotics field, including applications to the aerospace industry. Attention is paid to the systems nature of robotics to include the integration of mechanics and electronics. The High Performance Vehicle track prepares students for employment in vehicle design and manufacturing, from competition vehicles to fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly vehicles. Subjects include aerodynamics, structures, and safety. The objective of the Mechanical Engineering degree is to produce graduates who: Are prepared to be immediately productive as well-rounded mechanical engineers in aerospace, aviation, and related fields. Are able to systematically apply the fundamental principles of science and mathematics to solve engineering problems. Are effective at both oral and written communications. Work effectively within a team, in both supporting and leadership roles. Have exceptional backgrounds in engineering design that meet system, component, or process requirements and comply with health and environmental requirements. Are able to apply their knowledge to realworld multidisciplinary challenges facing society. Are able to apply the latest tools and technology to engineering problems. Understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, political, social, and ethical context. Understand the importance of lifelong learning and pursue professional development, including advanced degrees and professional registration. The curriculum is designed to accomplish these objectives with a base of engineering, math, and sciences that includes probability and statistics or numerical methods; engineering economics; advanced mathematics; electrical engineering; and engineering design. The culmination of the program is a two-semester design project that prepares the students for working in a team environment on projects involving mechanical engineering.
