BS Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering is concerned with the design, development, manufacture, and operation of a wide variety of energy conversion and machine systems. Mechanical engineers employ their knowledge of materials, system design and control, production methods, and mechanics to design traditional systems (such as aircraft, automobiles, engines, robots, energy-generation plants, pumps and valves, machines and household appliances), as well as systems utilizing new technologies (such as biomedical and nano devices), to meet design specifications for performance, economy, and ease of use while complying to safety and environmental protection requirements. The fourth year utilizes the knowledge acquired during the first three years to develop professional skills in applied areas such as thermal and fluid engineering, and systems design and control.
