Mechanical Engineering, B.S.

Florida Institute of Technology

Mechanical engineering is dedicated to the analysis, design, and fabrication of systems-machines, engines, products, and technologies-that effect a conversion between mechanical, electrical, and thermal energies. Choosing Florida Tech for a mechanical engineering degree puts you in a program listed among the Fiske Guide’s ''Engineering/Top Technical Institutes'' and Parade Magazine’s ''College A-List in Engineering.''Whether you want to design a more efficient power generator, develop new methods of automation, or engineer the latest machine system, a mechanical engineering degree from Florida Tech develops a strong background in engineering and experience in fields like instrumentation and thermal systems.Mechanical engineering encompasses four major subfields: design and structures, thermal-fluid sciences, control systems, and materials science and manufacturing. You’ll get started on your mechanical engineering degree concentration right away, taking core courses like Introduction to Mechanical Engineering and Calculus-Based Physics in your first year. New technical electives allow you to specialize in unique career-track subfields such as systems engineering, nuclear technology, and energy engineering, making you a hot prospect in the eyes of future employers.
