Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering (BSME)
Mechanical engineering is and essential part of most industries and modern technologies, and includes the analysis, design and development of machines and structures that involve motion.
Mechanical engineers are employed in areas such as the design and control of machinery; the development of means of transportation including automobiles, aircraft, space and marine vehicles, and railroads; computer-aided design and manufacture of products, consumer goods, devices and industrial equipment; medical technology utilizing mechanical and electromechanical devices; the generation of energy from fossil and nuclear fuels; and the utilization, storage and distribution of alternative energy sources.
