BS Mechanical Engineering (Starting with Calculus) at The University of Texas at EL Paso

The Mechanical Engineering Program prepares students for professional careers in the design, development, and manufacture of mechanical systems in a wide variety of industries. The program includes a multi-semester design sequence within which students work in teams applying theories learned in the classroom to solve complex problems and transform concepts into designs and functional prototypes that they build and operate. The program provides a strong foundation in electro-mechanical systems, programming and control systems, robotics and machine vision, thermo-fluid systems, and advanced materials. Within the design sequence, students from all engineering disciplines work together, designing solutions for internal and local community partners. CETA offers specific concentration areas in Robotics, Telecommunications, and Unmanned Aerial Systems that complement core engineering training and enhance student’s post-graduation placement opportunities. Students also have the opportunity to be involved in engineering clubs and organizations, such as student chapters of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). The BS.MEG program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.

Mechanical engineering is the knowledge of the design and manufacture of mechanical systems and thermal devices and processes. Some examples of products and processes developed by mechanical engineers include engines and control systems for automobiles and aircraft, electric power generation plants, lifesaving mechanical devices, robotics and a wide variety of consumer products. Mechanical engineers are needed to design or improve manufacturing processes in a team setting.

As the only undergraduate degree program of its kind in the region, this concentration combines mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering, and is based on input from top companies looking for employees that will shape the industry's future. Learn how your skills could improve vehicle safety, traffic congestion, air quality, energy efficiency, and more, all while engaging with cutting-edge technologies to gain valuable experience that will impress employers!
