As mathematical and numerical modeling takes on a much larger role in product development, graduates who are highly skilled in computational and mathematical engineering will be in high demand. The concentration in computational mechanics, under the BSE in mechanical engineering, is designed to teach students the modern computational tools available for solving large-scale and complex technical problems. The curriculum focuses on high-performance computing and the accurate modeling of large and small-scale systems. Accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.

Mechanical engineers are employed in virtually every kind of industry. They are involved in seeking new knowledge through research, in generating creative design and development, and in the production, control, management and sales of the devices and systems needed by society. Therefore, a major strength of a mechanical engineering education is the flexibility it provides in future employment opportunities for its graduates. The objectives of the mechanical engineering program are for graduates to be employed in mechanical engineering or a related field or accepted to graduate school: Our graduates will be employed as engineers or will be enrolled in (or have graduated from) engineering or professional graduate school. Our graduates will be sought out to contribute to the design of solutions to complex problems. Our graduates will demonstrate professionalism and will hold positions of increasing responsibility within their organizations.
