Mechanical engineering is the most versatile of all engineering programs. Mechanical engineers pursue careers in a wide variety of industries, research laboratories, educational institutions, and government agencies. A significant number of mechanical engineering graduates use mechanical engineering as the foundation for careers in business administration, law, medicine, and other professions. They are also qualified and accepted for advanced study in biomedical engineering, medicine, law, business administration, and dentistry. The engineering graphics program is part of the mechanical engineering department.
Engineers use technical drawing to communicate and document their ideas.
Students in all the engineering disciplines who want to communicate in the graphical language are encouraged to study engineering graphics. Mechanical Engineering Curriculum Revised October 1997 Interim term courses . Humanities and social science courses taken during the Interim term may be counted toward the requirements for a B.S. degree in mechanical engineering. However, Interim courses can be used to fulfill mechanical engineering or technical elective requirements only if the specific courses have been approved in advance of registration by the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The student may select any two mechanical engineering electives to complete the requirements for the B.S. degree.
