Mechanical Engineering

  • Major

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
Gain real life experience, all before you graduate.

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

  • Labs
  • Physics
  • Material Testing
  • Fluid Mechanics
  • Instrumentational Electronics
  • Engineering Computer Lab, which houses 25 new computers with 3D Drafting, Finite Element Analysis modeling software, and software for computer programming, as well as a virtual reality characterization station
  • Senior Design Lab, which contains manufacturing, welding, and 3D printing equipment
