What is Mechanical Engineering About?

Mechanical engineers design and develop everything you think of as a machine, that is, mechanical, or that produces power. From home appliances, power tools, bicycles, and computer hard drives to air conditioning systems, car engines, planes, jet turbines, and nuclear reactors, the field of mechanical engineering is responsible for much of the world we live in. In such a broad field, a mechanical engineer can look forward to a highly rewarding, dynamic career.

Mechanical Engineering at FAU

The program of study leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering reflects the breadth of the profession. Students complete coursework in the mechanical, thermal, and material sciences. Because of the tremendous impact mechanical engineers have on society, the curriculum also requires students to study the social sciences and the humanities.

The Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the commission's General Criteria and Program Criteria for mechanical engineering and similarly named engineering programs.
