BS in Mechanical Engineering
The Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering was developed with industry guidance to address the broad, foundational knowledge and skills required to be contributors in fields such as mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, systems engineering, manufacturing engineering, design engineering, project engineering and engineering sales. This program teaches topics and assesses competency in mechanical design principles; solid, structural, and fluid mechanics; thermodynamics, thermofluids, materials science, heat transfer, circuits, robotics, power and controls.
This program integrates math, chemistry, physics, biology and computer programming with an emphasis on critical thinking, problem solving, practical application and project management experience. In addition, students can develop valuable workplace skills, including effective communication, teamwork, initiative, strong work ethic, analytical skills, adaptability and self-confidence. Students can learn professional and ethical practices associated with engineering through the lens of the University’s Christian worldview.
