The mechanical engineering degree gives students grounding in solid mechanics, thermodynamics, fluids, heat, materials, manufacturing and system design, plus circuits and programming.
Laboratory work and extensive computer use connect theory to practice, and students complete engineering design projects. The program is accredited by ABET. Optional specializations are available but not required, and graduates can enter design, analysis, testing, research or manufacturing roles. Faculty and advisers can answer questions about sequencing, prerequisites and how the program fits different career plans.
Oakland University is located in Rochester, Michigan.
