The Mechanical Engineering Department is committed to providing an outstanding undergraduate education for our students, which is our top priority. Many classes include hands-on laborator y learning exercises in which students get to actively participate. Some of the many projects our students are working on include, the solar car challenge, wind tunnel experiments, space hardware design, nanotechnology development, pressure vessel research, coal combustion, agricultural innovations, and precision machining.
Mechanical engineering is one of the most versatile of all the engineering disciplines.
Our graduates work in power, aircraft, automotive, and defense industries throughout the US, while many choose to work locally with companies such as Polaris, Marvin Windows, and Lucas Aerospace. Nearly all of our students receive job offers before they graduate or elect to continue in graduate education at UND and other fine engineering schools.
