Mechanical Engineering - Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art

Mechanical Engineering from Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art is a Campus Bachelor Mechanical Engineering degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. Mechanical engineers are concerned with the devices and phenomena related to the generation, transmission, application and control of power. Mechanical engineering grew up with the industrial revolution and is today the broadest of the engineering disciplines, encompassing many diverse activities and fields of interest. Mechanical engineers may be involved with research and development, design, manufacturing, sales, application and service or administration and management as well as teaching and consulting. Their fields of interest include solid mechanics, materials, fluid mechanics, acoustics, heat transfer and thermodynamics, combustion, control systems, manufacturing, CAD/CAM and robotics or combinations of these as is often the case in the design and development work of complex projects. (Examples: the space shuttle, the investigation of alternate energy from renewable resources and the development of completely automated factories through robotics.) At the Albert Nerken School of Engineering , the mechanical engineering faculty and the students have been and continue to be involved in these and other exciting new developments through their project work, research or consulting. Mechanical engineering is an ideal foundation for careers in the aerospace industry, ocean engineering, marine engineering , biomedical engineering, the automobile industry, the power and utilities industries and virtually any area of activity that requires analytic abilities combined with a strong background in design practice. The sequence of courses in the undergraduate curriculum emphasizes the fundamental engineering sciences in a computer environment and professional design practice. By the selection of electives and of their design and research projects, students have a large degree of flexibility in exploring their own interests.
