Graduates of the program will have the professional and scientific education that allows them to be successful as career engineers and in graduate programs. Specifically, they will be able to (1) function in professional environments in industry, government, and academia applying and building upon engineering science knowledge, problem-solving skills, and communication skills, (2) function as members of teams and in leadership roles applying ethical and inclusive standards including the ASME code of ethics within and beyond traditional Mechanical Engineering disciplines, and (3) remain current with technology and contemporary scientific, environmental and societal issues, and consequently improve skills and knowledge through a lifelong process of learning. (Program educational objectives are those aspects of engineering that help shape the curriculum, achievement of these objectives is a shared responsibility between the student and UCI.) The undergraduate Mechanical Engineering curriculum includes a foundation of mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Engineering courses in fundamental areas constitute much of the remaining curriculum. A few technical electives allow undergraduate students to specialize in Aerospace Engineering, Energy Systems and Environmental Engineering, Flow Physics and Propulsion Systems, and Design of Mechanical Systems or to pursue broader understanding in these areas. A senior capstone design experience culminates the curriculum.
