Undergraduate Resources
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.
Under the combined B.S./M.S. program, a full-time student can earn both the B.S. and the M.S. degree in mechanical engineering within five years. Candidates for the program are exempt from the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) but must apply for admittance to the graduate school using the normal procedures. Application to the program must be made during either the winter or spring quarters of the junior year. Accepted students begin taking graduate classes their senior year.
Students accepted into the B.S./M.S. program must satisfy all requirements for the B.S. and M.S. degrees, including the M.S. thesis. Successful students will be awarded the B.S. degree after four years and the M.S. at the end of the five-year program.
