Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering

Undergraduate Program

Education in engineering fundamentals with emphasis on a particular discipline through electives is provided in this curriculum: material in modern mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials, and diagnostics. The preparation fosters an inquisitiveness and understanding that will preclude future obsolescence of the mechanical engineering graduate.
