The Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering degree will provide a student with the basis to be able to complete the Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) in Mechanical Engineering degree. The Master of Engineering degree is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, Inc. Since the M.Eng. is accredited as part of a five-year program with one-year of co-op experience, it is not typically well-suited for students who have not matriculated through the preceding four years at Speed School. Therefore, almost all students who earn an undergraduate degree at a school or university other than the University of Louisville pursue the M.S. degree instead of the M.Eng. degree.

Graduates will demonstrate: the ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering to the solution of problems encountered in mechanical engineering practice an ability to design and conduct experiments assessing phenomena encountered during mechanical engineering practice, along with the ability to analyze and interpret the resulting data an ability to design mechanical engineering systems, components, or processes that meet specified requirements an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams in both leadership roles and as an individual contributor the ability to identify and describe mechanical engineering problems, formulate constraints, devise and assess alternative approaches, and implement an optimal solution that satisfies specified performance, cost, time, and safety requirements a solid understanding of professional and ethical responsibility in the field of mechanical engineering, as well as a record of adherence to those standards during academic coursework and cooperative education internships the ability to communicate effectively in writing, during interpersonal discussions, and through formal multimedia presentations, along with the ability to use these skills within the context of mechanical engineering practice an understanding of the impact of mechanical engineering solutions in a global and societal context. an understanding of the need for, and an ability to engage in lifelong learning a knowledge of contemporary issues, along with a knowledge of how such issues influence technology evolution and implementation an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for the practice of mechanical engineering an ability to apply masters-level knowledge in a specialized area related to mechanical engineering
