Comprehensive Program

What is Mechanical Engineering?

The comprehensive Mechanical Engineering program combines theory with application across the broad discipline of mechanical engineering. Topics covered include robotics, mechatronics, solid mechanics, controls, computer-aided design and thermodynamics.

Mechanical Engineering overlaps significantly with other disciplines - electrical, chemical, civil, computer and software to name a few - and is perhaps the most interdisciplinary of engineering fields.

What do Mechanical Engineers do?

Mechanical engineers are traditionally concerned with the planning, design, construction, implementation and operation of mechanical and related systems in a wide variety of situations. Mechanical engineers often improve systems to lower economic, environmental and social costs. Other disciplines including biomechanics, environment protection and many other vital and emerging fields frequently rely on the expertise of mechanical engineers. In addition, due to mechanical engineering's high degree of interdisciplinarity, mechanical engineers usually interact regularly with other types of engineers.

What types of careers do mechanical engineers find?

Typical fields of work are in the energy, manufacturing, machinery, automotive and aerospace industries. Because of the very broad nature of their discipline, mechanical engineers are usually in high demand.
