Mechanical engineering is the art and science of the design and synthesis of mechanical components and systems. The activity of mechanical engineers extends from investigation of physical phenomena governing the behavior of our surroundings and of technical and societal processes to the manufacture and evaluation of products.

 

The technical domain of the mechanical engineering profession encompasses topic areas including:

 

  • acoustics
  • aeronautics
  • astronautics
  • automatic control
  • bioengineering
  • combustion
  • cryogenics
  • design
  • dynamics
  • energy conversion
  • engines
  • environment
  • heat transfer
  • lubrication
  • mass transfer
  • manufacturing
  • materials processing
  • mechanics of solids and fluids
  • mechanisms
  • petroleum
  • plasma dynamics
  • propulsion
  • thermodynamics
  • vibration and
  • wave propagation.

Students may also participate in group design projects or research projects as part of their program.
