Provider Lawrence Technological University
Date of last update 1/28/2009
Description Mechanical engineers apply their knowledge of the physical world to solve problems related to the development of consumer products. Their interests cover such diverse topics as automotive engineering, acoustics, machine design, heating and air conditioning, energy, manufacturing engineering, fluids and hydraulics, stress analysis, computer-aided design/engineering, among many others. Mechanical engineering is a very versatile degree; graduates may work in such areas as design, analysis, testing, manufacturing, technical sales, energy production and conservation, and engineering management. Mechanical engineers are employed by a full spectrum of organizations including manufacturers, aerospace, biomedical, government, consulting firms, and research and development organizations. All Lawrence Tech mechanical engineering students study the same core curriculum, which includes courses in three broad technical areas: manufacturing, mechanical systems, and thermal science. Manufacturing courses cover how products are made. Mechanical systems courses cover the study of mechanisms and structures. Thermal science courses cover heat transfer, fluid mechanics and energy conversion. Since many new consumer products are electro-mechanical in nature, the core curriculum also includes a sequence in electrical engineering.
