Mechanical engineering builds the physical systems and devices that define modern society β everything from air conditioning to automobiles, robots to power plants, artificial limbs to escalators, and rocket engines to weather satellites. Mechanical engineering offers almost limitless opportunity for the inventions and innovations that lead to entrepreneurial ventures. Through hands-on computer and laboratory work in our state-of-the-art facilities, the School of Engineering's Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BMSE) program teaches the principles underpinning the discipline and how to apply them in the field. Students also develop talents in such specialized areas as solid and fluid mechanics, machine control systems, and robotic devices. The BSME degree program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. Mechanical engineers find careers in industries including national defense, aerospace, automotive, and telecommunications. Mechanical engineering also has a long tradition of breaking new ground in such areas as resource conservation, improved efficiency of energy-consuming devices, and renewable energy sources. There are emerging opportunities in biomedical systems and devices, as well as nanotechnology and mechatronics. Alternatively, students can use their education as a springboard to law, medicine, corporate management, or further graduate studies.
