Mechanical Engineering is one of the broadest engineering fields and a highly flexible major. Mechanical engineers research, design, develop, build, and test mechanical and thermal sensors and devices, including tools, engines, and machines. They design and oversee the manufacture of many products ranging from medical devices to new batteries.
The Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering degree program at Marian University provides a challenging yet rewarding experience for undergraduate students to develop as transformative engineering leaders and impactful global citizens, with an education rooted in Franciscan values. It prepares graduates for a variety of job opportunities upon graduation including manufacturing, energy, aerospace, defense, technology, construction, and more.
Some highlights of the ME program:
- Courses taught by caring full-time faculty members with small class sizes to ensure strong student-faculty interaction and collaboration
- Strong background in core engineering and science courses with course options in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, mechanics of materials, machine design, and computer-aided engineering
- Hands-on lab experiences to emphasize connections between fundamental engineering analysis and practical engineering design
- Advanced technical elective options that can be used to focus on your interests and emerging fields
- Integrated project-based experience in all four years, with integrated design concepts and ME applied skills in programming, machining, instrumentation and prototyping
- Year-long multidisciplinary senior design capstone course offering real-world engineering experiences through client-driven projects and national competitions
