Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering - BS Degree Program University of Bridgeport

Program Description

Mechanical Engineers apply the principles of motion, force, energy, and materials for the design, development, analysis, manufacturing, testing and maintenance of mechanical systems. Mechanical Engineers are suited for employment in a wide range of industries, including aerospace, automotive, biomedical, chemical, electronics, robotics, power-generation, sports, and telecommunication. The mechanical engineering program combines in depth studies with lab and project experience to help students acquire knowledge and skills needed for successful careers or graduate studies. Students develop competence or acquire knowledge in many areas, including engineering fundamentals, computer aided engineering tools, communication skills, design of individual components and multi component systems, manufacturing processes, mechanical systems, professional ethics, laboratory exploration, and more. The graduate of this program will obtain a foundation in mathematics and science for the mechanical engineering courses offered in the third and fourth years period in their senior year, students have the opportunity to broaden and deepen their technical background through three advanced elective courses and design projects in applied areas such as aerospace engineering, mechanical design, manufacturing and materials processing, thermal and fluid engineering, mechatronics and automation, and biomedical engineering. Engineering design experience using CAD/CAM systems are integrated throughout the curriculum.
