The Department of Mechanical & Electrical Engineering offers a four-year Bachelor of Science degree program in Mechanical Engineering. The BS ME program prepares its students for industry and graduate study with the expectation of eventual leadership responsibilities. To that end, its faculty and facilities emphasize design and industrial experience, student-faculty-industry cooperative projects, teamwork, the adoption of new technologies, and the hands-on student utilization of laboratories and computing systems. The Mechanical Engineering program maintains professional accreditation by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET (ABET, 415 North Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21201; Telephone: (410) 347-7700).
The ME program is designed to achieve a balance among the major areas of Machine Design, Electro-Mechanical Systems, and Thermal Systems. Descriptions of program objectives and outcomes are publicly posted in the department and on the department’s webpages.
The Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering (MSME) is also available, including a BS/MS 4+1 option to achieve the MS in one additional year. The MSME degree program is described in the Graduate Bulletin. The MSME 4+1 option is described in the “Special Programs” sections of the Undergraduate and Graduate Bulletins.
