Mechanical Engineering (B.S.M.E.) 

Design. Develop. Analyze. Control. Test. It’s all in a day’s work for a mechanical engineer. As one of the oldest engineering disciplines, mechanical engineering plays a vital role in the automotive, biotechnical, computer, electronics, automation, and manufacturing industries. Mechanical engineers take a product from start to finish, and the types of products are nearly endless. From transmissions to engines to control systems to prosthetic devices to printers to wind turbines to fuel cells to robots, you’re sure to find an area of specialty that satisfies your curious and industrious nature.
