Mechanical Engineering Overview
The curriculum in Mechanical Engineering is intended to provide students with a strong foundation in a broad range of engineering sciences and mathematics, followed by an in-depth study of engineering concepts specific to the practice of Mechanical Engineering. The curriculum is based on the core program, which is intended to develop students skills in analysis, computation and experiment, provide a broad overview of all engineering disciplines, and develop general problem solving and decision making skills. The core program is followed by three semesters during which students elect to focus on one of five possible interrelated options within Mechanical Engineering. These programs provide specialized training required to practice as entry-level Mechanical Engineers in several areas, and also provide capstone design experiences for all graduates.
