Undergraduate students have the several required courses<\/a>, but also have the flexibility to customize their studies by\u00a0selecting courses<\/a>\u00a0from a wide variety of areas.<\/p>\n In addition to these regular offerings, our faculty also routinely offer specialized courses, providing students with learning opportunities in cutting-edge areas and state-of-the-art expertise.<\/p>\n Our unique design program, Design4Practice, includes four courses which starts with the freshman\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n There are many opportunities for undergraduate students to get involved with research at NAU. You can discover more about our research by\u00a0reviewing abstracts<\/a>,\u00a0faculty research labs and groups<\/a>,\u00a0and\u00a0faculty member<\/a>. If you are interested in undergraduate research, we recommend contacting faculty directly.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re academically driven and want to be challenged, then the Honors College<\/a> may be for you. In the Honors College, you will be part of a close-knit community of peers who\u2014along with Honors faculty\u2014will challenge you through exciting research, unique projects, and out-of-class opportunities that connect you with what you care about. The Honors College is an enrichment program open to students of all majors.<\/p>\n Flagstaff offers an ideal, scenic environment for living and learning. With a four-season climate, amazing landscapes, and ample sunshine, you\u2019ll discover outdoor adventures unlike anywhere else in the United States.<\/p>\n At 7000 feet elevation and in the midst of the largest ponderosa pine forest in the world, Flagstaff has drawn positive attention from a number of publications:<\/p>\n Flagstaff offers a wide array of nearby recreation opportunities, including:<\/p>\n See our step-by-step guide to the application process<\/a> and feel free to contact and admissions officer<\/a> with any questions.<\/p>\n Admission into the mechanical engineering undergraduate program is competitive and there are no specific grades or exam scores that guarantee admission. The entire admissions process is based on a complete application that contains all necessary information.<\/p>\n There are a variety of financial aid and scholarship<\/a> opportunities at NAU. For any questions, do not hesitate to contact Financial.Aid@nau.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n Our graduates have gone on to work for companies such as W.L. Gore & Associates, Inc., Lokheed Martin, Honeywell, Intel, Raytheon, Lowell Observatory, USGS, APS. \u00a0In addition, many of our graduates choose to continue their education at prestigious universities, including NAU (see our accelerated program), UC Berkeley, Carnegie Melon, Cornell University, and others.<\/p>\n Take advantage of these clubs and organizations to expand your knowledge on engineering and have a little fun.<\/p>\n The application<\/a>, admissions<\/a>, and enrollment process<\/a> is slightly different for transfer students.\u00a0 We provide special advisement support specifically for transfer students<\/a> and for international transfer students<\/a>.<\/p>\n\nDesign<\/h3>\n
