Santa Clara University

Program 

The undergraduate curricu­lum addresses the education and training of mechanical engineering students and concentrates on two technical areas: (1) design and analysis of thermofluid systems for effective use of energy; and (2) design, analysis, and control of mechanical systems including the study of materials used in engineering. Educational efforts are chan­neled to expand the skills of prospective engineers not only in understanding funda­mentals but also in developing competence in analyzing engineering systems.

Students must fulfill the following requirements for a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering:
