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

Ohio University’s Mechanical Engineering major program has four educational objectives:

1. Prepare graduates for engineering careers and advanced education
2. Graduate mechanical engineers with technical skills
3. Graduate mechanical engineers with skills to perform in the work environment
4. Graduate mechanical engineers who are informed and aware of contemporary issues and the impact of engineering on society.

Mechanical engineering is an extremely diverse profession that is concerned with

1. the economical and ecological conversion of energy from natural sources to provide power, heating, cooling, and propulsion
2. the design of all types of machines, engines, and vehicles
3. the processing of materials into useful products
4. the development of systems for using machines and resources.
   Professional activities include research, development, design, testing, production, operation and maintenance, marketing and sales, technical management, and administration.

The mechanical engineering curriculum is designed to provide a solid foundation in higher mathematics and basic sciences followed by extensive instruction in all of the classical mechanical engineering disciplines. Design and project experiences dealing with real engineering problems are integrated into the curriculum to help students.
