The B.S.M.E. curriculum is broad in scope and strongly based in the fundamentals essential for professional practice, life-long learning, and advanced study at the graduate level. Design is a unique element of the profession, therefore, students design experience is developed and integrated throughout every degree program. Mechanical engineering focuses on motion and the forces and energy associated with motion. The field encompasses the design and analysis of machines and processes to meet the expanding needs of a changing, technological, energy-based society. Mechanical engineers are the most versatile, and they have a wide variety of career options. B.S.M.E. graduates may find employment in transportation industries, consulting firms, governmental agencies and laboratories, manufacturing facilities, power-production industries, process industries, universities, and others. Mechatronic engineering is a discipline that combines mechanics, electronics, controls, and computing in the design of products and manufacturing processes. The B.S.M.E. with a Mechatronics concentration prepares engineers that are familiar and competent with cutting-edge technology in both mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering, plus are prepared to develop innovative products to address industry and other needs. The B.S.M.E. with a Vehicle Engineering (VE) concentration teaches concepts and technologies that apply to many modes of transportation and cover a wide range of vehicle types, including traditional combustion engines, hybrid and electric vehicles, as well as
