Mechanical Engineering Program Description |
The Department of Engineering and Aviation Sciences proposes to establish a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) within the School of Business and <br>Technology (SBT) at UMES. Mechanical engineering is the study of physical machines that use force and movement. It combines engineering physics, mathematics, and materials science to design, analyze, manufacture, and maintain mechanical systems. <br>Mechanical engineers work in many industries, including automotive, aerospace, biotechnology, computers, electronics, energy conversion, robotics, and automation. The proposed BSME program aims to offer prospective students the opportunity to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, providing a pathway to a career that combines engineering and technology. |
