Mechanical Engineering

Major

Today鈥檚 engineers need to think about sociological, cultural, and environmental impacts of designs. That鈥檚 why our program combines the rigorous foundation of engineering courses with the human dimensions of technology through a curriculum grounded in the liberal arts.

ABET Accredited
Small class sizes
Close-tied industrial partnerships
Industrial partnerships for work experience
Newly equipped educational laboratories
Combined hands-on experience and fundamental education
Targeted and well-equipped educational laboratory experiments

Gain real life experience, all before you graduate.

Our curriculum, course content, laboratory experience, design projects, teaching, and extracurricular activities are all oriented to simulate real-world experience, including:

Labs
Physics
Material Testing
Fluid Mechanics
Instrumentational Electronics
Engineering Computer Lab, which houses 25 new computers with 3D Drafting, Finite Element Analysis modeling software, and software for computer programming, as well as a virtual reality characterization station
Senior Design Lab, which contains manufacturing, welding, and 3D printing equipment
Internships and Cooperative Education

Our Faculty

We prioritize your success by providing an academic advisor (who is also engineering faculty) from day one. Instead of focusing on growing their publication list like a lot of larger universities require, our faculty are dedicated to teaching the next generation of engineers.
