Work of Mechanical Engineers

• Mechanical engineers research, develop, design,
  manufacture, and test tools, engines, machines,
  and other mechanical systems.
• They work on power-producing machines .
• They develop machine tools, industrial production
  equipment and robots, and bio-mechanics and
  medical related industries.
• Mechanical engineers also design tools that other
  engineers need for their work.
• The field of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems and
  nanotechnology, which involves the creation of
  high-performance materials and components by
  integrating atoms and molecules, is introducing
  entirely new principles to the design process.

Computer Aided Engineering

• Computers assist mechanical engineers by
  accurately and efficiently performing
  computations, and by permitting the modeling and
  simulation of new designs as well as facilitating
  changes to existing designs.
• Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided
  Manufacturing (CAM) are used for design data
  processing and for turning the design into a
  product.

Demand for Mechanical Engineers

• Over the past thirty years, the demand for
  Mechanical Engineers has been ranked as the first
  or second relative to other Engineers
  disciplines.
• Employment of mechanical engineers is projected
  to grow more rapidly as the demand for improved
  machinery and machine tools grows.
• Also, emerging technologies in biotechnology,
  materials science, and nanotechnology will create
  new job opportunities for mechanical engineers.
• Additional opportunities for mechanical engineers
  will arise because a degree in mechanical
  engineering often can be applied in other
  engineering specialties.

MISSION STATEMENT

• The Department is committed to provide the
  students with a dynamic academic and professional
  foundation enabling them to shape the future
  advancement of knowledge in the areas of
  mechanical and manufacturing engineering and to
  contribute to the economic growth and well-being
  of both the state and the nation.

PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

• 1. To provide the student with the knowledge of
  physical sciences, mathematics and engineering
  science so that the student has the capability to
  delineate and solve mechanical and related
  engineering problems.
• 2. To familiarize the student with the systematic
  scientific approach to the identification and
  solution of practical problems in mechanical
  engineering.

9
PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

• 3. To provide the student with experience through
  the systematic application of engineering
  fundamentals to the design of mechanical,
  thermal, and manufacturing components and
  systems.
• To develop professional attitudes, ethical
  character and an understanding of the engineers
  responsibility to society and the impact of
  technology on society.
• To provide the student with intellectual
  challenges and contemporary issues designed to
  arouse curiosity and a desire and need for
  lifelong learning as a responsible engineer.

10
PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

• 6. To provide students with experiences which
  will prepare them to function effectively in
  multicultural and multidiscipline teams.
• 7. To provide students with hands-on experiential
  learning activities with traditional and modern
  mechanical and manufacturing machinery,
  state-of-the art technologies and software to
  enhance engineering problem solving including
  man-machine interface problems.

11
DEMAND FOR SKILLED TECHNICAL PROBLEM-SOLVERS

• As technology increases exponentially with each
  decade, the demand for skilled problem-solvers
  who excel in all fields of engineering grows, as
  well.
• Mechanical and Manufacturing engineering in
  particular requires the design, testing, and
  manufacturing skills that are necessary to
  compete in today's -- and tomorrow's --
  technologically complex world.

12
TODAY'S MECHANICAL MANUFACTURING ENGINEERS

• Today's mechanical engineers use cutting-edge
  computing, smart sensors, and electronic
  technology to design and manufacture automated
  products for the future
• Science and technology will continue to expand,
  and so will the demand for skilled mechanical
  engineers

13
EMERGING TECHNOLOGY
With emphases in areas such as smart structures,
electronics packaging, energy and environmental
engineering, and manufacturing, the department
has strong links with other engineering
disciplines and will continue to interact with
other areas This interdisciplinary focus
benefits students, faculty, and industry
