Our Mission

The mission of the Mechanical Engineering degree program is to produce graduates who:

  • Have a solid background in the basic mechanical engineering subjects.
  • Can plan, analyze, design, and schedule mechanical systems, including those in high-performance vehicles, energy and power, and robotics.
  • Contribute to society and the mechanical engineering profession through professional societies as well as acting in an ethical manner.
  • Can work in diverse team environments with knowledge of the breadth of engineering topics.
  • Demonstrate knowledge of the mechanical design process.

    The curriculum is designed to accomplish the objectives with a base of engineering, math, and sciences that includes probability, statistics, or numerical methods; engineering economics; advanced mathematics; electrical engineering; and engineering design. The culmination of the program is a two-semester design project that prepares the students for working in a team environment on projects involving mechanical engineering.
