BA/BS in Mechanical Engineering

The Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering approaches design and sustainability from several disciplines with people at the center. Students build skills in solving engineering problems, designing safe solutions, communicating, working ethically and teaming, and in running experiments and analyzing results. The curriculum totals 123 credits, split between university core courses and the major. Lower-division courses cover calculus, mechanics of materials, fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, while upper-division study turns to controls, thermal fluids, manufacturing and design. Laboratories and computer-aided design are built in. Study can be full-time or part-time, with co-ops, rolling admission and an accelerated master's option. The department stresses flexibility, co-op chances and strong job placement, and its program accepts a sizable number of transfer credits.
