Mechanical engineers continue to work toward meeting the demands of an increasingly complex technological society. The curriculum in Mechanical Engineering provides a strong background in the humanities, mathematics, physics, and engineering science with an emphasis on fundamentals in the early years of study. A wide choice of electives in the senior year enables a student to study an area of interest and begin to develop a specialization. Areas of interest at UNLV include thermal and fluid science, machine design and robotics, materials science, controls, and acoustics. Graduates of the program find employment opportunities in development and manufacturing in a wide range of industries from household appliances and controls, automotive and aircraft, energy conversion and materials processing, to defense.
Opportunities are available in consulting, government, agencies, and universities.
