of energy, material sciences, and mechanics in the design and production of mechanical devices and systems. Mechanical engineers are heavily involved in the generation, conversion and transmission of energy and motion. The program is suited for students with a keen interest in applied physical sciences and mathematics. It is designed to prepare our graduates to face with success the new challenges of the industry and to benefit our society.<\/p><p><br><\/p><p>The curriculum leading to the Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (B.S.M.E.) covers the fundamental aspects of the field, stresses basic principles and educates students to solve engineering problems. The curriculum integrates advanced computer skills, laboratory work and design projects in a teamwork setting throughout the program. The freshman and sophomore years emphasize courses in mathematics, sciences, humanities, computer programming, computer-aided drafting and design, conventional manufacturing, engineering mechanics, material sciences, solid mechanics and fluid mechanics. The junior and senior years are dedicated to the study of thermodynamics, heat transfer, intermediate fluid mechanics, system dynamics and controls, mechatronics, thermal and mechanical design, computer-aided engineering, computer aided-manufacturing. The program concludes with comprehensive capstone design courses in which the students apply the knowledge and concepts from previous courses in solving relevant problems from the industry.<\/p><p><br><\/p><p>Mechanical engineering students may decide to follow a traditional mechanical engineering path or to pursue a concentration in aerospace engineering. Students following the traditional path may take elective courses in areas such as air conditioning systems, power plant engineering, internal combustion engines, turbomachinery, manufacturing, robotics, vibrations, dynamics of machinery, biomedical engineering, plastics engineering or any of the courses that are part of the concentration in aerospace engineering. The traditional course sequence also includes a course in entrepreneurship to enhance the business skills and self-employment opportunities of our graduates. Students enrolled in the B.S.M.E. with a concentration in Aerospace Engineering will take courses in aerospace-related areas such as aerodynamics, flight dynamics, propulsion systems, aerospace structures, and aircraft design.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1822\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Degree Offered<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1822\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1822\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><div class='widget-content'><h2><strong>Degree Offered<\/strong><\/h2><p>The Mechanical Engineering program offers undergraduate instruction leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME).
