Mechanical engineers pursue careers in a wide variety of industries, research laboratories, educational activities, 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. Many graduates are also accepted for advanced study in mechanical engineering, 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. Program Objectives Members of the next generation of mechanical engineers are being equipped to meet the technological challenges of the profession. Out of a commitment to continously improve the undergraduate curriculum for the mechanical engineering program, the faculty in the Department of Mechanical Engineering has adopted several educational objectives. The certificate program restricts elective courses in the B.S. curriculum and increases the total number of semester hours the student will complete. A student who completes all the requirements of the certificate program receives the B.S.M.E. degree and a manufacturing engineering certificate indicating that he or she has completed the additional requirements.
