B.S. in Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical engineering is based on fundamental engineering science principles and focuses on the design of mechanical systems, machines, and consumer products. This design process often involves understanding how heat transfer, fluid flow and thermodynamics are involved and understanding how to meet or exceed the performance specifications for a particular design.
