ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The Science Behind Every Machine

The Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering covers the full breadth of the discipline: statics, dynamics, mechanics of materials, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, control systems, and manufacturing. Students develop rigorous analytical skills alongside hands-on lab competencies.

Through a combination of core engineering science, CAD design, and a summer industry internship, graduates are prepared to enter the workforce immediately or continue into graduate studies.

  • Statics, dynamics, and mechanics of materials
  • Thermodynamics and heat transfer
  • CAD engineering design and manufacturing
  • Control systems and dynamics of machinery
