Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering

University of Colorado - Denver

The mechanical engineer is concerned with satisfying the needs of society using a combination of material, human, and economic resources. Mechanical engineering covers a wide spectrum of activities in the engineering profession. Generally, it uses design, analysis, and experimentation of mechanical systems to ensure safe, efficient, and productive operation. These activities include energy conversion and transmission and associated power processes dynamic, strength, and wear considerations. In addition, economic aspects of the development, design, and use of materials, machines, and processes are investigated. Furthermore, the analysis, synthesis, and control of entire engineering systems are topics that mechanical engineers address. The program offered by the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Colorado Denver can predominately be completed in the afternoon and evening hours to accommodate both working and traditional students. The department seeks to graduate a diverse population of students with bachelor's degrees who within a few years of graduation able to: The mechanical engineering program has a two-course senior-year capstone design sequence where students design and build, either virtually or physically, a project requiring many of the techniques learned in the program. In the last two years, the curriculum emphasizes engineering science and design and provides technical electives.
