    Mechanical Engineering (B.M.E.)

    Our program is tailored for students who have a knack for tinkering - and a moral integrity to tinker for the betterment of our world. Students will build things right on campus - including fully functional, remote-controlled aircraft. We give our mechanical engineers the choice of taking the traditional track or honing in on a skill they’re particularly passionate about, like an Aerospace Engineering Concentration.
