Overview

The Mechanical Engineering program of Rochester Institute of Technology is perhaps the most comprehensive of the engineering disciplines. The mechanical engineer’s interests encompass the design of automotive and aerospace systems, bioengineering devices, and energy-related technologies.

The spectrum of professional activity for the mechanical engineering graduate runs from research through design and development to manufacturing and sales. Because of their comprehensive training and education, mechanical engineers often are called upon to assume management positions.

A student may then specialize by choosing appropriate technical and free elective courses in an area of interest. Each of the listed professional electives includes a significant design project. In the fifth year, students are required to complete Multidisciplinary Senior Design I and II, a two-course capstone design experience.

Students complete liberal arts general education courses in the various perspectives to round out their education. During the course of their studies, students must demonstrate writing competency of the English language by successfully completing a Contemporary Issues course offered by the mechanical engineering department.

Educational objectives

The objectives of the mechanical engineering major are to prepare graduates to:

practice mechanical engineering in support of the design of engineered systems through the application of the fundamental knowledge, skills, and tools of mechanical engineering.

enhance their skills through formal education and training, independent inquiry, and professional development.

work independently as well as collaboratively with others, while demonstrating the professional and ethical responsibilities of the engineering profession.

successfully pursue graduate degrees at the master's and/or doctoral levels, should they choose.

Accreditation

The BS in mechanical engineering major is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. Visit the college's accreditation page for information on enrollment and graduation data, program educational objectives, and student outcomes.
