Mechanical Engineering

Bachelor of Science

Mechanical Engineering is a very broad discipline. In general, mechanical engineers are problem solvers, interested in the design and analysis of physical objects. Mechanical engineers may consider the aerodynamic forces on an airplane and ensure that the structure will withstand them. Alternatively, they may design an air conditioning system using new coolants, increasing efficiency or reducing costs. Perhaps they design boilers to hold steam at high temperatures and pressures. The Mechanical Engineering degree prepares students with a broad curriculum, allowing them to be successful in a wide variety of careers.
