机械工程学士学位

机械工程是工程学的核心学科之一，它包含大量的子学科，这些子学科是传统技术和前沿技术的核心。它是涉及能量转换，发电，设计和制造等活动的广泛专业。知识的理论和技术基础包括纯科学，数学和工程科学，尤其是固体和流体力学，热力学和运动学。机械工程要求对物理科学和数学语言具有才智和兴趣，并具有将其应用于社会需求的能力。石溪大学机械工程专业本科课程的教育目标认识到，学生有多种职业目标以及可以追求的各种工业环境。尽管我们的大多数毕业生都立即就职于工业，但很大一部分人仍在继续深造。进入研究生院的大多数学生都继续进行机械工程
Mechanical engineering is one of the core disciplines of engineering and it encompasses a large number of subdisciplines that are at the heart of both traditional and leading edge technologies. It is a broad profession concerned with activities such as energy conversion, power generation, design, and manufacturing. The theoretical and technical bases of knowledge include the pure sciences, mathematics, and the engineering sciences, especially the mechanics of solids and fluids, thermodynamics, and kinematics. Mechanical engineering requires aptitude and interest in the physical sciences and the language of mathematics, and the ability to apply these to societal needs. The educational objectives of the undergraduate mechanical engineering program at Stony Brook University recognize that students have a variety of career objectives and a choice of industrial environments in which to pursue them. While the majority of our graduates are immediately employed in industry, a significant percentage pursues graduate study. Most of the students entering graduate schools continue with mechanical engineering studies. However, some go to law, business, and medical schools. The mechanical engineering curriculum provides students with a core education in mathematics and the physical sciences along with a broad sequence of courses covering thermal processes and fluid mechanics, mechanical design, solid mechanics, and the dynamic behavior and control of mechanical systems. Students also take courses that introduce them to the use of advanced computational methods for engineering design and analysis as well as data processing and analysis. A series of laboratory courses introduces them to sensors and electronics, modern instrumentation and experimental techniques used in engineering for tasks ranging from product design, evaluation, and testing to re'search. In addition, students can select electives to provide either higher level academic training in preparation for graduate school or a broader exposure to subjects related to engineering practice to enhance their preparation for a job after graduation.
