The profession also makes contributions through more fundamental studies of material behavior, the mechanics of solids and fluids, and energy transformation. Undergraduate course descriptions for the department are available on-line. The mechanical engineering program develops the student's creative potential to meet the increasingly complex needs of industry, government, and education while giving an appreciation of the role of technology in a modern society. The curriculum prepares prospective graduates either for more advanced studies or for beginning professional engineering careers. It provides a foundation of knowledge in the basic physical sciences, mechanics of solids and fluids, dynamic systems, thermal sciences, materials science, and design.
Students develop abilities in analysis, experimentation, and design.
