At the
undergraduate level, the education that we offer is intended to
provide a strong foundation in engineering science accompanied
by disciplinary focus in mechanical engineering. The course
load is demanding, and students typically take 16-18 hours of
class each semester. There is also a one-time, summer field
session where students learn practical skills such as machining. This
rigor of this education, though, allows students to build a
solid foundation and then push it to cutting edge of mechanical
engineering research and practice.
Our graduate
program offers M.S. (both thesis and non-thesis) and Ph.D.
degrees in Engineering Systems. The name Engineering
Systems is consistent with the multi-disciplinary make up
of the Division of Engineering faculty. It also resonates with
the fact that many of our research areas cross traditional
disciplinary boundaries. Student transcripts will include a
subtitle that identifies their degree option to be Mechanical
Engineering.
The Mechanical Engineering program has 15
Tenure/Tenure-Track
Professors, 3 full-time Lecturers, and 15 Adjunct Professors.
We have approximately 40 graduate students and 600
undergraduate students. This is nearly 20% of the CSM student
body. Please take a
moment to peruse our web pages that detail education and
research at CSM in Mechanical Engineering. Look over the
courses, see what sort of research projects we are involved
in, and take virtual tours of many of our lab facilities.
