Mechanical engineering is a broad-based program that prepares you for a rewarding career in mechanical and related engineering fields. You will work with mechanical systems in the laboratories and receive an excellent mix of theory and application. Our graduates specialize in General Mechanical, Robotics and Automation, and/or Vehicle Systems.
Our emphasis is on preparing students to solve real-world engineering problems. Students participate in multidisciplinary, industrial or research based senior engineering design projects which emphasize teamwork, communications, project management, customer relations and ethics.
Students learn numerous software packages for CAD, CAM, FEA (Finite Element Analysis), CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers), robots, and technical analysis. Cooperative education opportunities are available.
Our graduates are well educated and prepared to enter the job market; graduates will find a 100% placement rate and competitive starting salaries, typically over $49,700, waiting for them.
Additional Programs
-
Engineering Management
The Engineering Management program is designed for students who already have a technical associate’s degree to complete a management oriented bachelor’s degree in two additional years. The program will expand your technical education in robotics and automation. It will also provide you with valuable business skills that could qualify you for advancement in industry. Technical associate’s degree transfer credits are accepted for a wide range of technical programs. Technical courses provide a focus in modern robotics and automated manufacturing methods.
- Industrial Technology
Your academic experience will include a foundation in the basic sciences, mathematical concepts through algebra and trigonometry, general education, software, technology and automation. You will learn to apply your skills toward the solution of practical, industrial-type technical problems. During your senior year, you will participate in the construction-and-build semester of a real-world industrial project, working with engineers and company representatives. You will also have developed communication skills that will enable you to grow and succeed in your professional career. Not a first-time-in-college student? There are multiple technical and free electives to allow transfer students to fit into the flow of the program. As a graduate, you will have the ability to seek employment in the technical areas of business, industry, and manufacturing.
