The Bachelor of Science in mechanical engieneering program prepares students for a wide variety of careers including the design and manufacturing of mechanical and, increasingly, electromechanical components and systems. Advances in technology continue to transform mechanical engineering, and we are using this new program as an opportunity to offer a program that prepares students for the modern workforce. The curriculum includes a focus on professional engineering practice, access to the latest Computer Assisted Design (CAD) and Computer Assisted Manufacturing (CAM) tools, with an emphasis on design for manufacturability, materials, modeling, simulation, process control, and rapid prototyping. One important aspect of this program will be a balance between theory and hands-on practice that will prepare students to be effective and practical engineers when they graduate.
