Welcome to Mechanical Engineering!
The department offers exciting programs in mechanical, mechatronics and robotics engineering. Mechanical engineers design and maintain a variety of machines that significantly contribute to society and improve the quality of human life. Did you know that innovative products such as cars, airplanes, gas turbines, medical equipment, rockets, and construction machinery are designed and made by mechanical engineers?
If you are interested in combining engineering disciplines, consider our mechatronics and robotics engineering program. In this program, you create intelligent devices such as smarter cars, autonomous farm equipment, robots for manufacturing, and much more. These modern applications rely on mechanical and electrical components, sensors, actuators, and computer software, all working together harmoniously.
We encourage you to visit our department and laboratories during the annual Engineering Explore Day (open house) in the fall, participate in a School of Engineering tour, and speak with our faculty and students in order to learn more about what our program has to offer. We look forward to hearing from you!
