The Russ College of Engineering and Technology's Mechanical Engineering Department prepares well-rounded, proactive individuals to think critically and problem-solve.
Students learn not only how to design and create, but how to work in teams, communicate, and lead innovation of new technologies, materials and energy systems. By combining courses in engineering, social sciences and the humanities, students gain an understanding of our technical society.
The College of Mechanical Engineering offers two majors from which students may choose.
The traditional Mechanical Engineering undergraduate program prepares students for a wide range of career opportunities. Through the curriculum in our ABET-accredited program, students gain a solid foundation in mathematics, science and engineering while completing design and project experiences that deal with real engineering problems.
OHIO's Energy Engineering undergraduate program prepares students to work in the important and growing field of sustainable energy solutions. Studying topics ranging from energy economics and policy to fuel conversion and energy systems, graduates become a well-rounded engineers, ready to face the most significant challenges of the century.
Students are also given the opportunity and encouragement to integrate an Entrepreneurship Certificate into their undergraduate experience. The certificate exposes non-business majors to entrepreneurship and cultivates an entrepreneurial mindset.
Through the certificate, students learn the tools for success in starting a business. A primary focus of the program is allowing the student to tailor the program to their individual program of study.
Mechanical Engineering Accelerated Graduate Pathways allow students to combine undergraduate and graduate coursework to complete both degrees more quickly.
