thinking, problem solving, and creativity. Our mechanical engineers will develop broad skill sets to create novel devices and technologies. Our unique design program, Design4Practice, includes four courses which starts with the freshman&rsquo;s introduction to engineering (EGR 186) and is concluded with the Capstone courses (ME 476C\/486C) in the senior year. This design program provides hands-on opportunities to students to work with real clients and well-known companies such as W.L. Gore and Raytheon and prepare them to pursue their dreams by going into industry or graduate school. Students will also find the opportunity to work closely with our highly-skilled and internationally renowned faculty on many interesting projects such as cardiovascular biomechanics, wind energy, robotics, and smart materials.<\/p>\n<p>Our undergraduate engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<!-- shortcode-accordion -->\n<div class=\"shortcode-accordion shortcode-accordion--closed\" style=\"position: relative;\" >\n        <h4 class=\"shortcode-accordion__header\">\n        <button type=\"button\" class=\"shortcode-accordion__trigger\" data-header=\"Mechanical Engineering, Bachelor of Science (BSME)_0\" id=\"shortcode-accordion-2-trigger\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"shortcode-accordion-2-panel\">\n            Mechanical Engineering, Bachelor of Science (BSME)\n            <span class=\"shortcode-accordion__header__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\n        <\/button>\n    <\/h4>\n    <div class=\"shortcode-accordion__body\" id=\"shortcode-accordion-2-panel\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"shortcode-accordion-2-trigger\" inert>\n        <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\">\n<html><body>\n<p>The BSME degree is offered through our Mechanical Engineering program, which is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, and provides exceptional career flexibility and a broad range of opportunities in a wide array of industries, including but not limited to, biotechnology, aerospace, defense, energy, robotics, automotive, heating, and refrigeration.

This is done by adding intensive language study, immersion in our community of international scholars, and a variety of other international and cultural curricular elements and activities. In this program, studies in language and culture are closely integrated with engineering and science, following a set of carefully crafted degree progress plans.<\/p>\n<p>Students in an IGP program earn both a BS in their chosen discipline (Computer Science, Applied Computer Science, or Electrical Engineering) and a BA in either Modern Languages or Comparative Cultural Studies.
