B.S. in Mechanical Engineering

Colorado State University

Mechanical engineers are creative problem solvers who design, develop, and manufacture the machines and instrumentation that run energy, building, environmental, and transportation systems. Early within the program students learn hands-on skills that allow them to work on projects that include biomedical devices, ground/air/space vehicles, robots, environmental control equipment, and power plants. In Mechanical Engineering, students take basic science and mathematics courses while beginning their engineering studies in design and computing. A broad spectrum of classes is designed to sharpen problem-solving skills and early participation in hands-on labs provides an active learning environment and further develops design, modeling, and analytical skills. Student in their senior year focus on a year-long capstone design course to help them transition from college to an engineering career. Students choose technical electives from the energy, automotive, material science, manufacturing, dynamic systems, robotics and controls, simulation and modeling, and biomedical engineering areas to further immerse themselves in areas of interest.
