Mechnical Engineering - Community and Technical College at West Virginia University Institute of Technology

Mechnical Engineering from Community and Technical College at West Virginia University Institute of Technology is a Campus Bachelor Mechanical Engineering degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. Mechanical Engineering is one of the largest technical professions with a history of significant and continuous contributions to industrial development since the dawn of human civilization. The History of Technology is replete with stories of successful applications of Mechanical Engineering ideas and concepts which have lead to overall prosperity of nations and eventual rise in the overall living standard of their citizens. Mechanical engineers also play a vital role in maintaining the technology leadership to insure the survival and growth of an industrialized society. In order to prepare our students for the challenges awaiting them in the real world, the Mechanical Engineering department at WVU Tech offers a practice oriented education with strong emphasis on hands-on experience at all levels of its Bachelor of Science curriculum. The curriculum is structured to develop the skills necessary to succeed in a field that is both challenging and rewarding. The program includes sequential courses in several areas, such as English, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Humanities, Computer Science and General Engineering Science as well as the foundation courses in Mechanical Engineering such as Thermodynamics, Machine Design, Heat Transfer, Mechanical Vibrations, Control Systems and Materials Engineering. These are considered essential for a sound Mechanical Engineering program by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), the national organization that accredits engineering programs in the United States. WVU Technical Electives are offered (including some in the two stems: energy and motion & structure) enabling students to pursue special areas of interest. Mechanical Engineering Educational Objectives The mission of the mechanical engineering department at WVU Institute of Technology is to produce high quality mechanical engineers who have developed, through an appropriate academic program of study and laboratory experience, a strong background in mechanical engineering that would enable them to be competent members of the profession and who are capable of handling the most challenging jobs in the field. The primary means of achieving this goal is to maintain high academic quality that would ensure continued accreditation by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (EAC/ABET). Consistent with this goal, the following Educational Objectives have been adopted by the faculty of the Mechanical Engineering Department: 1. To provide an atmosphere of dedicated teaching and supportive services to the student by providing counseling, academic planning, career guidance and personal attention to facilitate growth and success in the academic and professional communities. 2. To provide quality learning tools and environment well grounded in fundamentals of mechanical engineering that would produce technically and professionally competent mechanical engineering graduates who are able to meet the needs of employers from government, industry and business. 3. To prepare students who are technically capable and motivated to succeed by teaching them skills needed to enter the mechanical engineering profession or to continue their education toward an advanced degree or seek professional registration. 4. To produce graduates who are: a. competent to practice mechanical engineering b. able to use a variety of modern computational tools c. willing to work as team members of diverse groups d. knowledgeable about professional standards of ethics and safety e. life-long learners f. good in communication skills and (vii) current in their understanding of the mechanical engineering profession and its impact on environmental, economical , societal and global issues.
