Mechanical engineering is the study of objects and systems in motion. It's among the most diverse and versatile of all engineering fields and touches nearly every aspect of our world.
Mechanical engineers design, develop, troubleshoot, and improve consumer and commercial devices, products, processes, and systems. They play key roles in many industries, like automotive, aerospace, biotechnology, computers, electronics, energy systems, robotics, and manufacturing – too many to name. The types of projects they work on is virtually endless.
As a mechanical engineering student, you'll study mathematics, science, computer science, and design, guided by world-class faculty who are leaders in research and education. Along the way, you'll develop keen problem-solving skills and combine them with your creativity to complete challenging and rewarding projects. By the time you graduate, you'll be ready to step onto one of the many career paths that await.
