MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Today’s engineers need to think about sociological, cultural, and environmental impacts of designs. That’s why our program combines the rigorous foundation of engineering courses with the human dimensions of technology through a curriculum grounded in the liberal arts.

  • ABET Accredited
  • Small class sizes
  • Close-tied industrial partnerships
  • Industrial partnerships for work experience
  • Newly equipped educational laboratories
  • Combined hands-on experience and fundamental education
  • Targeted and well-equipped educational laboratory experiments
SETTING STUDENTS UP FOR SUCCESS

Our curriculum, course content, laboratory experience, design projects, teaching, and extracurricular activities are all oriented to simulate real-world experience.

Tuition and Financial Aid

We believe every student, regardless of their financial situation, should have access to a UJ education. 100% of our full-time undergraduate students have some type of financial aid, with scholarship packages starting at $8,000 minimum. Your counselor for admissions personally walks you through financial aid, including the process of filing a FAFSA, maximizing your eligibility for aid, and answering any questions you may have along the way.
