Course summary
This is an applied engineering program, blending theory and research with practical engineering fundamentals. Mechanical engineers work on diverse, challenging problems that require the integration of science, engineering, and socioeconomic knowledge. They develop solutions to physical problems, question how things work, make things work better, and create ideas for doing things in new and different ways. As a mechanical engineering student, they will cover a broad scope of topics to prepare them for a successful engineering career. Jobs in mechanical engineering include developing products to improve air and water quality, inventing more efficient energy sources, designing farm equipment to improve crop yield throughout the world, and developing systems for biological research as well as lifesaving medical equipment. A mechanical engineer, now more than ever, is someone who can translate scientific theories into the real products and processes to improve the quality of life.
