BS Mechanical Engineering Technology

Mechanical engineering encompasses many specialties. Mechanical engineers design advanced and smart materials, structures and systems to meet the demands of manufacturing industries, aerospace industries including supersonic and hypersonic space travel, marine and maritime industries including design of ships, hovercrafts, submarines and aircraft carriers, robotics, medical fields, the nuclear energy field, the design of electrical power plants equipped with reactors, pressure piping, heat exchangers, and other specialized components. They develop computer systems that improve, automate and speed up the production process and perform intelligent, agile and just-in-time manufacturing and rapid prototyping. It would be hard to find an area or object in everyday life that was not in some way affected by mechanical engineers.
Mechanical engineers apply scientific methods to the solution of engineering problems. Mechanical Engineering teaches design, analysis and simulation techniques to realize ideas and dreams to improve life on earth. It also teaches how to create and realize next generation products, systems and organizations.
