Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering 

Mechanical engineering is the most diverse and versatile of engineering fields. It is the study of objects and systems in motion. Mechanical engineering touches virtually every aspect of modern life and has a large impact on our world. Mechanical engineering skills center on creating technologies and products to meet human needs. Virtually every product or service in modern life has been touched in some way by a mechanical engineer.

Mechanical engineering requires training in basic science and engineering principles along with the development of skills in the areas of computer-aided design, instrumentation, planning and management of design projects. Graduates will be required to master technical elements and demonstrate competence in the areas of communication, fiscal management and project control.

This program offers course work in:

  • Engineering Mechanics
