A Division of Aeronautical Science and Engineering

Mission. The Department of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering is committed to educating future engineers so they may contribute to the economic growth and well-being of both the state and the nation and to the advancement of knowledge in the mechanical and aeronautical sciences.

Objectives . We provide: a foundation in the mathematical and physical sciences appropriate for the solution of engineering problems; competitive engineering design experiences in an interdisciplinary environment that emphasize written and oral communication skills, team work, and team and individual decision making; an environment and approach to the requisite engineering disciplines that allow and encourage life-long learning; the basic computational, experimental and manufacturing skills necessary for the conduct and assessment of engineering tasks; an awareness of the ethical, societal, and business responsibilities that accompany the practice of engineering, including pertinent legal issues such as intellectual property; an awareness of current research and state-of-the-art in the field.
