Mechanical Engineering - Stevens Institute of Technology

Mechanical Engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology is a Campus Bachelor Mechanical Engineering degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. The range and scope of mechanical engineering has undergone radical changes over the past decades, while retaining and expanding traditional areas of endeavor. Some of the changes have been due to the improvements in auxiliary fields, such as materials, or to the introduction of new fields, such as mechatronics and micromachining. Traditionally, the design and production of machines have been major concerns of the mechanical engineer, working to the basic criteria of price, efficiency and delivery date. Safety and environmental considerations have added new dimensions to the mechanical engineer's task. This is most apparent in the design of new automobiles, where improved mileage and cleaner engines have been coupled with a reduction in weight and size, while greater emphasis has been placed on highway safety. In a time of severe energy shortage, the mechanical engineer is the one person to whom the nation looks for improved utilization of resources and for new forms of energy conversion. Reflecting the wide diversity of subject matter found in the present-day practice of mechanical engineering, the department offers a multitude of opportunities for study and research. Major areas of interest include energy conversion, design and manufacturing, HVAC, solid mechanics, automatic controls, dynamics, fluid mechanics, machine design, heat transfer, turbomachinery, combustion, robotics and noise control. If you have particular interests or highly specific objectives, we can generally satisfy your individual goals by elective courses and appropriate project work. The Mechanical Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. Career opportunities are found in such diverse areas as power generation, design of machinery, manufacturing, research and development, guidance systems, product design and development, robotics, propulsion engineering, system analysis and design, and many others. Our graduates wishing to further their education have been successful in gaining admission to the top graduate schools of their choice in the country.
