Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering

University at Buffalo - SUNY

Mechanical engineering is one of the most flexible-and practical-degrees. It's for people who want to know how different types of machines, engines and systems work so they can make them better. Whether you want to design self-driving cars, improve wind turbines, build life-saving robots-or find other ways to change the world by solving problems-let's get started.What will I learn?For the first few years, you'll take a lot of math and science courses and labs, including chemistry, physics and calculus (through differential equations). Then, in later years, you’ll learn how to apply these skills in classes about mechanics, materials, heat transfer, manufacturing processes and related topics. You’ll also have some flexibility to choose electives, take courses in business and communications, and even specialize in an area such as bioengineering, dynamics or fluid sciences.
