Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Mechanical Engineering] From University of Connecticut

Mechanical engineers use skills in mathematics and science to develop, design, and manufacture tools, engines, machines, and many other mechanical devices that improve our standard of living. Mechanical engineering is one of the most diverse disciplines within the engineering profession; mechanical engineers collaborate with doctors to design better medical equipment, research and build renewable energy technologies, and create robots that replicate human movement.

Mechanical engineers design things we use everyday, and lead innovation in state of the art technologies like nanotechnology, an emerging field in which functional systems are engineered at the molecular level. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, in 2004 Mechanical Engineers held a quarter of a million jobs in the U.S.

The Bachelor of Science degree includes opportunities for students to create their own area of focus or to take electives to explore an interest in another professional school or program.
