Students in this programme complete hands-on design projects using programming, electronics, and mechanical fabrication skills in courses like MEGN200 and MEGN201. They work on team-based design challenges from their first year through a senior capstone project. The curriculum emphasizes real-world engineering problems through active learning and industry-relevant tools. Students apply principles of mechanics, thermodynamics, and materials in lab and project settings throughout their studies.

Focus areas include Aerospace, Automotive, Automation and Controls, Biomechanics, Energy, Manufacturing.

The programme requires 126 credits distributed across foundational science, engineering core courses, mechanical engineering electives, and a two-semester capstone design sequence.

Graduates pursue careers in mechanical engineering roles within industries such as automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, energy, robotics, and sustainable technology.

Applicants must have a high school diploma or equivalent with strong performance in mathematics and science. Required documents include transcripts, standardized test scores, and a personal statement. Minimum GPA and course prerequisites are evaluated during the application review.

The programme totals about 126 credit hours. On-campus, full-time, four-year programme. For international students, tuition is above the median for US programmes. The institution admits about 60% of applicants.
