About the Specialization

Students benefit from a thorough foundation in engineering fundamentals and specialty electives.

The undergraduate curriculum covers the fundamentals of engineering, emphasizes basic principles, and educates the student in the use of these principles to reach optimal design solutions for engineering problems.

The objective of the mechanical specialization is to provide a competitively educated engineer who can:

1. Effectively use the principles of statics, dynamics, solid mechanics, machine design, thermodynamics, fluids mechanics, heat transfer, and materials science for the design and analysis of practical engineering systems.
2. Effectively communicate both orally and in writing.

Successful completion of this curriculum prepares the student for a career in one of the many phases of the mechanical engineering profession, or for advanced education in graduate school.
