Mechanical Engineering - Howard University

Mechanical Engineering from Howard University is a Campus Master Mechanical Engineering degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. About Mechanical Engineering Mechanical Engineers apply the principles of mechanics and energy to the design of machines and devices. They must be able to control mechanical systems and usually work with other professionals in designing these systems. Automobiles, engines, heating and air-conditioning system, gas and steam turbines, air and space vehicles, trains, ships, servomechanisms, transmission mechanisms, machine tools, material handling systems, elevators and escalators, and robots used in industry are a few of the systems and devices requiring mechanical engineering knowledge. The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers dynamic educational programs and a faculty poised to deliver quality engineering education. The department also offers studies leading to the Master of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering . Educational Objectives Graduates of the Mechanical Engineering Program have acquired knowledge in mathematics, science and engineering and have developed problem solving skills necessary for productive careers in mechanical engineering and other professions and to pursue graduate, professional and life long education.
