Created in the fall of 2008, the Department of Mechanical Engineering is a key component of the University's growth strategy. Its curriculum is expressly tailored to meet the needs of the modern mechanical engineer, providing instruction in micro-thermodynamics, micro-fluidics and other areas that will be essential for the 21st-century mechanical engineer. Seven teaching labs for undergraduates reinforce the engineering theory taught in lectures through hands-on experimentation.
The department offers both undergraduate and advanced degrees and remains committed to interdisciplinary research. Collaboration between mechanical engineers and electrical engineers is particularly promising, having already produced advances in micro-electromechanical systems. Robotics research is also expected to accelerate as mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, materials scientists and computer scientists collaborate.
We look forward to collaborating with you on this Giving Day and into the future. Thank you for your generosity.
