Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering

Course Description

The Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering undergraduate programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of www.abet.org. The Department of MAE offers two degree programs: Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (B.S.M.E.), and Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering (B.S.A.E.). The department has an undergraduate student enrollment of over 2,700 students. There are over 1,950 students in Mechanical Engineering, and almost 800 students in Aerospace Engineering. Both degree programs are offered in a traditional, “live-lecture” format. The Mechanical Engineering curriculum teaches students to apply principles of engineering, science, and mathematics (including multivariate calculus and differential equations) to model, analyze, design and realize physical systems, components or processes, and prepares students to work professionally in both thermal and mechanical systems areas. The Aerospace Engineering program prepares graduates to have knowledge covering aeronautical engineering, and some topics from astronautical engineering. The program also prepares graduates to have design competence that includes integration of aeronautical or astronautical topics. The students of MAE have ample opportunities for internship and co-ops in the metropolitan area, with corporations such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Mitsubishi Power Generation, and Siemens. Although our degree programs do not require internships or co-ops to meet graduation requirements, a good percentage of our students enjoy the possibility to participate in these experiences.
