Grand Canyon University’s Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering with an Emphasis in Aerospace was developed with industry guidance to address the broad, foundational knowledge and skills required to meet or exceed the expectations of employers in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, and related fields, such as mechanical design engineering, systems engineering, manufacturing engineering, project engineering, and engineering sales. This program teaches topics and assesses competency in mechanical design principles such as statics, dynamics, materials science, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and heat transfer, as well as aerospace engineering, including aerodynamics, propulsion, flight control systems, and aerospace design. This program integrates math, natural sciences, and computer programming with an emphasis on critical thinking, problem solving, real-world application and practical project management experience. The Christian worldview is integrated into the classroom, preparing graduates to apply Christian principles of stewardship and discipline with a commitment to professional and ethical standards. Mechanical engineering graduates with an emphasis in aerospace enter the workforce prepared to work in diverse teams, communicate effectively, and pursue leadership roles and advanced learning.
