Mechanical Engineering (B.S.)/Materials Science and Engineering (B.S.)

Illinois Institute of Technology

Illinois Tech’s Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering/Bachelor of Science in Materials Science and Engineering dual degree program allows students the opportunity to pursue studies and complete both degrees in as few as nine semesters. This program opens the door to more job opportunities in engineering and gives students a greater breadth of knowledge in the engineering field. The undergraduate mechanical engineering program prepares students for the design, development, and manufacturing of machinery while the undergraduate materials science and engineering program aims to develop an understanding of the structure, properties, processing, and service behavior of engineering materials. Students will graduate with a thorough knowledge of engineering principles and methods to drive creativity and innovation through such subjects as computer-aided design and visualization, robotics, materials science, and environmental engineering. Students will gain thorough knowledge of engineering principles and methods to drive creativity and innovation by building skills to create solutions to technological, societal, and environmental problems. Coupled with a focus on learning flight mechanics and controls, computer-aided design and visualization, and robotics skills, students will be prepared for industry success. Illinois Tech's mechanical engineering and materials science and engineering programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. The current educational objectives of this program ensure our graduates will: Meet the expectations of employers of mechanical and materials science engineers Be prepared to pursue advanced study if they so desire Be prepared to assume/undertake leadership roles in their communities and/or professions
