Engineering Program Monday January 30, 2012 Advice for Choosing a Discipline Select the discipline that will hold your interest for the next 3 to 4 years of your life. Everyone graduates as an engineer. Choice of discipline does influence the first job placement After 2 to 5 years, you could be working in an area very different from original discipline After 5 to 10 years, many find themselves in management or entirely different professions Mechanical is the most broad-based of the disciplines and provides the greatest choice when it comes to upper year electives and choice of career
Curriculum Common 2nd year and mostly common 3rd year, electives and design project in the 4th year. Areas of concentration for technical electives in mechanical engineering: 1) Aerospace 2) Energy and Fluid Systems 3) Manufacturing Engineering 4) Mechatronics Engineering Plus a Materials Engineering Option and a Biomechanical Engineering Option 1st year prerequisites for 2nd year mechanical courses are APSC 111 (mechanics), 112 (electricity), 171/172 (calculus) and 174 (algebra)

In addition to this broad base, the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering prides itself on being a leader in project based, team oriented and hands-on learning. After year two, a student can choose to remain in the general Mechanical Engineering Option (ME1) or select a more focused path in the Materials Option (ME2) or the Biomechanical Option (ME3) for the third and fourth year of their studies. All students that successfully complete the program will graduate with a highly respected Mechanical Engineering degree. All through the program students learn to plan and manage their time and work. Students are given many opportunities to develop their written and verbal communication skills in proposals, reports and presentations. These are critical skills for professional engineers so they can communicate their ideas to their colleagues and peers. Many students are attracted to the mechanical engineering program because it is the most broadly based of the engineering disciplines. In addition to professional engineering practice, a mechanical engineering degree can be a launching pad into a range of other careers which include business, law, medicine and academia.
