Department Information
Mechanical, aerospace, and manufacturing engineers design and build the modern products and processes that the society needs. The wide range of dynamic and
continually evolving areas where such engineers are the prime movers include bioengineering, energy systems, aircraft, aerospace, environmental engineering,
controls for mechanical systems, mechanical-electrical devices, automobiles, materials engineering, automated manufacturing, structural engineering, robotic
systems, fluidic systems and devices, production planning and control, combustion processes and systems, and others too numerous to list. The diversity and
multi-dimensionality of this modern engineering profession that designs and manufactures complex modern products requires a sophisticated educational
background that spans fundamental understanding of the underlying science, the design methodology, manufacturing processes, methods and techniques, and
economic and industrial implications. The department offers a comprehensive array of programs and courses that address each facet of this exciting profession.
These are discussed in the following paragraph and in the individual sections related to the mechanical, aerospace, industrial and manufacturing
engineering programs.
