Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering

The mechanical engineering program prepares you to work in industries including automotive, aerospace, biomedical, construction, green building design, solar energy, and power generation. Manhattan’s class sizes are small compared to what you may find at a large university. This means you’ll get plenty of face time with the professor, and get to learn about mechanical engineering firsthand through all kinds of educational and research projects. In the past, students have explored: the study of hydraulic, electronic and other devices used to collect information for system control; how to design fasteners, gears, shafts, springs and other mechanical elements; conduction, convection and radiation as different ways to transfer heat; properties of fluids: fluid statics, finding ways to govern equations of fluid motion, dimensional analysis, internal flow; metal cutting, and manufacturing processes such as turning, milling, and drilling; and photovoltaic solar panels.
