Mechanical Engineering (ME)

The ME major provides advanced opportunities for students to design, build and analyze mechanical and thermal systems. Students apply theories of energy, heat, and fluid flow to systems ranging from microfluidic devices to jet engines and develop tools to design and analyze the mechanical strength of structures and the motion of mechanisms.
