Innovation and modernization by applying science and technology toward the development of mechanical systems. Mechanical Engineering students learn how to meet the needs of society by designing new products and processes. They apply problem-solving skills to diverse areas such as robotics and automation, industrial equipment and machinery, heating and ventilation, biomechanics, transportation, energy production and conversion, and much more. Mechanical Engineering students learn about dynamic modelling, control algorithm development, engineering materials, manufacturing and mechanical design, microprocessor programming and heat transfer. Mechanical Engineers work in a wide variety of roles such as mechanical design, project management, quality control, preventative maintenance, research and development, production engineering, or move on to pursue graduate studies.
