Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Mechanical Engineering] From Lake Superior State University

Program Highlights:

• Emphasis is on preparing you to solve real-world engineering problems.
• You will participate in multidisciplinary, industrial or research-based senior engineering design projects which emphasize teamwork, communications, project management, customer relations and ethics.
• You will learn numerous software packages for CAD, CAM, fluid dynamics, finite element analysis, and other applications.
• Cooperative education opportunities are available.
• Degree Concentrations ? You must choose from among?three concentrations: robotics and automation, vehicle systems, or general mechanical while studying mechanical engineering.
• Emphasis on fundamentals of engineering, applications of theory, traceability to first principles, and generous laboratory content to complement and reinforce theoretical understanding.

The?robotics and automation concentration?will give you skills through courses in machine vision, system integration, automated manufacturing, robotics, and programmable logic controllers.

The?vehicle systems concentration?addresses the performance of surface vehicles of all types (automotive, rail, terrain, watercraft, etc.) through a series of courses in vehicle dynamics, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, vehicle testing, and vibration and noise control.? The emphasis is on projecting performance through analytical skills and computer simulation, and testing using modern instrumentation.

The?general concentration?enables students to select courses from the concentrations described above as well as other Engineering subjects.

Cooperative Education:

Opportunities are available as part of this program for students who are academically qualified. A certificate that documents this practical training is available.
