BA/BS in Mechanical Engineering

This bachelor's program in mechanical engineering is ABET accredited and STEM designated, with a five-year combined bachelor's and master's route available. Students learn to design, analyze and improve mechanical components and machines. Concentrations include biomechanical, engineering mechanics, manufacturing, machine design and thermal-fluid engineering. Minors in business, data science, entrepreneurship and mathematics pair well, and projects cover topics such as battery production and recycling. Undergraduates at Worcester Polytechnic Institute also take part in project-based learning, with the chance to complete real projects for outside organizations. Options such as a minor, a concentration or a combined bachelor's and master's route let students shape the degree around their own goals, and the university's career services help graduates move into jobs or further study.
