Areas of Study
In addition to the core courses in mechanical engineering, undergraduate students also take supporting courses in mathematics, chemistry, physics, English and engineering fundamentals. Mechanical engineering students may choose from minors and concentrations in areas of aerospace engineering, computer systems, energy systems, engineering mechanics, industrial engineering and structures in the School of Engineering, and in areas such as music, languages and political science.
Your education prepares you to work in design, testing, manufacturing and research in fields such as acoustics, aircraft design, biomedical engineering, construction, environmentally conscious design, environmental engineering, ergonomics, building and industrial energy systems, industrial marketing, manufacturing automation, ocean technology, power generation, renewable energy systems, space technology, structural analysis and design, textiles and food processing, toys, and transportation. Through our undergraduate and graduate programs, you acquire the skills, knowledge and ethical background to learn, lead and serve within your profession and in society.
