Work of Mechanical Engineers • Mechanical engineers research, develop, design, manufacture, and test tools, engines, machines, and other mechanical systems. • They work on power-producing machines . • They develop machine tools, industrial production equipment and robots, and bio-mechanics and medical related industries. • Mechanical engineers also design tools that other engineers need for their work. • The field of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems and nanotechnology, which involves the creation of high-performance materials and components by integrating atoms and molecules, is introducing entirely new principles to the design process.
Computer Aided Engineering • Computers assist mechanical engineers by accurately and efficiently performing computations, and by permitting the modeling and simulation of new designs as well as facilitating changes to existing designs. • Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) are used for design data processing and for turning the design into a product.
Demand for Mechanical Engineers • Over the past thirty years, the demand for Mechanical Engineers has been ranked as the first or second relative to other Engineers disciplines. • Employment of mechanical engineers is projected to grow more rapidly as the demand for improved machinery and machine tools grows. • Also, emerging technologies in biotechnology, materials science, and nanotechnology will create new job opportunities for mechanical engineers. • Additional opportunities for mechanical engineers will arise because a degree in mechanical engineering often can be applied in other engineering specialties.

MISSION STATEMENT The Department is committed to provide the students with a dynamic academic and professional foundation enabling them to shape the future advancement of knowledge in the areas of mechanical and manufacturing engineering and to contribute to the economic growth and well-being of both the state and the nation.
PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES 1. To provide the student with the knowledge of physical sciences, mathematics and engineering science so that the student has the capability to delineate and solve mechanical and related engineering problems. 2. To familiarize the student with the systematic scientific approach to the identification and solution of practical problems in mechanical engineering.
PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES 3. To provide the student with experience through the systematic application of engineering fundamentals to the design of mechanical, thermal, and manufacturing components and systems. • To develop professional attitudes, ethical character and an understanding of the engineer’s responsibility to society and the impact of technology on society. • To provide the student with intellectual challenges and contemporary issues designed to arouse curiosity and a desire and need for lifelong learning as a responsible engineer.
PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES 6. To provide students with experiences which will prepare them to function effectively in multicultural and multidiscipline teams. 7. To provide students with hands-on experiential learning activities with traditional and modern mechanical and manufacturing machinery, state-of-the art technologies and software to enhance engineering problem solving including man-machine interface problems.
DEMAND FOR SKILLED TECHNICAL PROBLEM-SOLVERS • As technology increases exponentially with each decade, the demand for skilled problem-solvers who excel in all fields of engineering grows, as well. • Mechanical and Manufacturing engineering in particular requires the design, testing, and manufacturing skills that are necessary to compete in today's -- and tomorrow's -- technologically complex world.
TODAY'S MECHANICAL & MANUFACTURING ENGINEERS • Today's mechanical engineers use cutting-edge computing, smart sensors, and electronic technology to design and manufacture automated products for the future • Science and technology will continue to expand, and so will the demand for skilled mechanical engineers
EMERGING TECHNOLOGY With emphases in areas such as smart structures, electronics packaging, energy and environmental engineering, and manufacturing, the department has strong links with other engineering disciplines and will continue to interact with other areas This interdisciplinary focus benefits students, faculty, and industry
