Mechanical Engineering applies the principles of solid
mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, material science,
dynamics and control to the analysis and design of machines and systems of all
types. In applying this technical knowledge, the mechanical engineer must
consider economic constraints and the social and ecological implications of
solutions imposed. The mechanical engineering curriculum offers the student an
opportunity to pursue educational objectives within the framework of this broad
theme.
