Program Overview

What is Mechanical Engineering?

Mechanical Engineering is all about using math and physics to design, build, optimize and maintain any thing that moves in the world around us. If it rolls, flies, flows, or produces sound, a mechanical engineer has had a hand in creating it.

Mechanical Engineering is used in a variety of applications. In apartment buildings, mechanical engineering helped develop the elevators that move from floor to floor, the HVAC systems that heat and cool and move the air. Mechanical engineering is used to transform the energy stored in gasoline to move the wheels on the bus that takes us to work. Mechanical engineering also helped design and manufacture the very small computer chips in your screen right now.

Mechanical engineering is the application of math, science, and problem-solving for mechanical systems like airplanes, manufacturing lines, medical devices, gas and electric vehicles, sustainable energy, robotics, and so much more!

Why Mechanical Engineering?

Students who graduate in mechanical engineering obtain a breadth of problem-solving and technical skills. Mechanical engineers can all sorts of applications for their skills. Student who choose to major in mechanical engineering are looking for a major that challenges them, promotes critical thinking, and has career potential.
