Welcome

SCU0312

The field of Mechanical Engineering includes all aspects of design, development, control, and manufacture of mechanical systems and energy conversion systems.

   Mechanical engi­neering is essential to the proper design and manufacture of nearly every physical product in our modern world. As such, mechanical engineers are a fundamental resource for most industries, and work in interdisciplinary environments. Mechanical engineers must have the ability to see broad perspectives across disciplines and indus­tries, and yet solve very local and specialized problems.
