Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering

The Mechanical Engineering curriculum teaches students to apply principles of engineering, science, and mathematics (including multivariate calculus and differential equations) to model, analyze, design and realize physical systems, components or processes, and prepares students to work professionally in both thermal and mechanical systems areas. The students of MAE have ample opportunities for internship and co-ops in the metropolitan area, with corporations such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Mitsubishi Power Generation, and Siemens. Although our degree programs do not require internships or co-ops to meet graduation requirements, a good percentage of our students enjoy the possibility to participate in these experiences. The MAE pupils are very active in extracurricular activities, through membership in student organizations and clubs, such as American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). Student-led teams have participated in, and have been rewarded for, annual competitions sponsored by NASA, The United States Navy, SAE, The American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the Florida Space Grant Consortium (FSGC).
