Mechanical Engineering
Introduction
What is Mechanical Engineering?
- An engineering profession that solves problems related to mechanical, materials,
fluids, thermal, and environmental systems.
- A profession that spends time being creative and innovative.
It appeals to students who like to think and find new solutions to new
and existing challenges.
- A profession academically equipped to work in a broad spectrum of
industries such as oil, manufacturing, aerospace, power generation, chemical,
automotive, air-conditioning and refrigeration, energy conservation, environmental
and others. Virtually every type of industry employs mechanical engineers.
Educational Quality
Excellent Faculty!! The Ole Miss Mechanical Engineering faculty
have distinguished themselves with numerous national and university-wide
teaching awards. The department has quality teaching faculty which is
the essence of a good program; program is ABET accredited.
Quality Students!! Many of our students receive the top academic
awards and scholarships during their undergraduate studies at UM and
graduate studies at UM and/or other outstanding institutions. Good
students help to stimulate and develop the best in
their classmates, and to maintain high academic standards.
Excellent Computer Facilities!! State-of-the-art personal computers,
main frame computers, and a super computer are readily available and
routinely used as engineering tools throughout the curriculum.
Up-to-Date Engineering Laboratories!! The program has quality
teaching laboratories in structures and dynamics, materials science,
energy and fluids, electrical circuits, and computer aided engineering.
Size!! The size (12 to 1 student to faculty ratio) of our
program allows for close interaction between students and faculty.
Obtain a private school education at state college costs.
