Mechanical Engineering

Recommended Plan of Study:

B.S. in Mechanical Engineering


Areas of Concentration
Because of the diversity of mechanical engineering, students are offered the option to concentrate in one of the following areas:

Aerospace
Biomechanical Engineering
Design and Manufacturing
Mechanics and Structures
Systems and Control
Thermal and Fluid Sciences

This option is typically available starting Term 8 (Fall or Spring term in the Junior year). Although not required, students who have opted to take such concentrations will find it extremely beneficial to pursue their Senior Design projects within the corresponding concentration.

The department suggests that students take at least six courses within their concentration.

Students should consult the undergraduate advisor and the coordinating faculty of the respective concentration area to select their electives and to complete the Plan of Study based on the courses listed in the concentration pages.

For more detailed information regarding these areas of concentration, visit the Areas of Concentration page at the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics site.
