Our undergraduate mechanical engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET. In addition to more formal classroom instruction, the department supports undergraduate education through internship opportunities and its graduate programs, which bring cutting-edge technology and research into the classroom and offer students hands-on experiences. 130 credit-hours are required to obtain the Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering.

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.
