The curriculum emphasizes foundation courses at the third year which are fundamental to all aspects of mechanical engineering. These courses emphasize both analysis and design while accompanying laboratory courses provide opportunities for hands-on experiences. Computer applications are interwoven throughout the program. In the fourth year each student gains experience in both thermal and mechanical design. The undergraduate program also includes a capstone laboratory course.
Graduates are prepared to enter the field as engineers or to continue into a graduate program.
An engineering internship program is available for students to gain industrial experience during their academic careers. See your advisor for further information on selecting a course. Prior to Spring 2001. Prior to Fall 1999.
