Academic Programs

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Mechanical engineering is the discipline of engineering that applies the principles of physics and materials science for the design, manufacturing, operations, analysis, and maintenance of mechanical systems. Production and usage of heat and mechanical power; design and analysis of production machinery, industrial equipment, heating, and cooling systems, aircraft, and watercraft; industrial automation; design and production of medical devices, etc. are all directly or indirectly related to mechanical engineering.

This field requires an understanding of core concepts including mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, materials science, and structural analysis. Drawing upon these core concepts and the knowledge base from cross-disciplinary (non)engineering fields like aerospace, electrical, civil, chemical, biomedical, and metallurgical sciences, mechanical engineers have contributed extensively in realizing technological advancements in the world today.

The Mechanical Engineering program at SEN is designed to prepare its students to become leaders in industry, government, and academia. Particular attention is paid so that graduates of our program have solid grounds in scientific, mathematical, and technical knowledge.

Our coursework keeps pace with current relevant technologies. The undergraduate Mechanical Engineering curriculum includes foundation courses in mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Engineering courses in fundamental areas constitute much of the remaining curriculum. A few technical electives allow the undergraduate student to specialize somewhat or pursue a broader understanding in a particular area. A senior capstone project experience culminates the curriculum.

PROGRAM MISSION

The mission of the Mechanical Engineering Department, in line with the UMT mission, is to provide education that builds a strong foundation of mechanical engineering knowledge and ethical values, expands reasoning, develops the ability to solve complex engineering problems, and enhances communication skills for a successful career in industry and academia to address the needs of society.
