Almost all sports equipment, including snowboards requires proper strength analysis for maximum performance. As an undergraduate student, you will take multiple courses that build your knowledge of strength of materials and its application to real life. Students apply what they learn to their design projects throughout their education.
Many students continue on to graduate school with an emphasis on strengths.
With many different applications in exciting areas, the Mechanical Engineering department at the University of Utah has a great deal to offer, both for undergraduate projects and graduate research. Snowboard edge pressure testing device designed by senior students and currently being further studied on the graduate level. The study of statics is the basis for many applications of engineering. In our program, you will learn how to apply your theoretical knowledge to real life applications and the biomedical and ergonomics fields. Click for more information.
