Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Mechanical Engineering, Biomechanics Emphasis] From University of Utah

he field of mechanical engineering (ME) is concerned with the mechanical, thermal, and fluid-flow aspects of all of these systems, including computer and feedback control of complex systems. As a mechanical engineering student at the University of Utah, you will learn the professional, technical, critical thinking, and communication skills you need to be successful and make meaningful contributions to this exciting field.

The Student Experience

The ME curriculum consists of courses in math, physics, and chemistry, in addition to coursework in ME concepts: students learn thermal-fluids, solid mechanics, mechatronics, and other pertinent topics, including an eight-month capstone design course.

Learning Outcomes

• A background and depth in mathematical, scientific and engineering principles sufficient to apply this knowledge to mechanical engineering problems.

• The ability to design and conduct experiments and subsequently analyze the resulting data for design or other engineering purposes.

• The ability to design a mechanical engineering system, component, or process for achieving a desired goal.

• The ability to use teamwork in pursuit of a multidisciplinary goal.

• An ability to identify, formulate, and solve mechanical engineering problems.
