VideoSample A.B./B.E. Program: Mechanical Engineering
Students interested in mechanical engineering will find an array of applications to work on, including:
- systems and controls
- solid mechanics and mechanical design
Another application, fluids and thermal sciences, combines chemical and mechanical engineering.
The sample A.B. program below focuses on fundamentals; the sample B.E. programs offer 2 directions for mechanical applications.
Faculty advisors: Professors Collier, Diamond, Frost, May, Phan, Ray, Schulson, Van Citters, Wegst
Sample A.B. Engineering Sciences Major
Common Core (3 courses)
Distributive Core (2 courses)
Gateway (2 courses)
Electives (3 courses)
