机械工程学学士学位

机械工程设计所涉及的不仅仅是解决化学，物理和微积分课程中发现的问题的类型，设计工作还涉及大量的分析和创造性工作。在制定详细的设计解决方案时，数学和科学原理非常有用，但对正确定义问题，指定解决方案以及查找和组织所需信息的关键问题几乎没有帮助。此外，设计不能违反基本的物理定律，必须在满足安全性和环境因素的前提下，以合理的成本，采用真实的制造方法，以真实的材料建造真实的材料。包括用于地面，空中和太空运输的车辆，将燃料转换为能量的机器，食品加工，消费品，机器人，生物医学设备，用于制造上述所有机器的机器以及建筑物的
Courses taken in the Freshman and Sophomore years, either at Sacramento State, or at a Community College or transfer college, directly contribute to the upper division (Junior-Senior) program. For example, upper division work in Computer-Aided Design (CAD) develops skills introduced in freshman graphics and CAD courses, upper division analytical courses depend on the freshman and sophomore calculus and physics courses. Communication skills learned in the lower division are developed through the writing of reports and oral presentations. Mechanical Engineering design involves far more than solving the types of problems found in chemistry, physics, and calculus courses, design work involves a large measure of analytical and creative work. The principles of mathematics and science are extremely useful when developing a detailed design solution but contribute little to the critical issues of correctly defining the problem, specifying the solution, and locating and organizing needed information. In addition, the design cannot violate fundamental physical laws and must be built from real materials using real manufacturing methods at a reasonable cost while satisfying safety and environmental factors.
