TechSpark is the cornerstone of the College of Engineering's maker ecosystem having an integrated set of resources where faculty and students create and develop new ideas, concepts, and products for technology innovation. Mechanical Engineering students access TechSpark for hands-on projects in multiple courses. Students may also choose to pursue the Integrated Master’s/Bachelor’s Program (IMB) which allows students to earn both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree with an additional semester or year of study. Students are encouraged to participate in research with department faculty members, explore their chosen field through internships, and take advantage of opportunities to study abroad and be exposed to other cultures. A student may choose to pursue a minor offered by departments in other colleges, or one of the designated minor programs offered in the College of Engineering, or to pursue an additional major. Our curriculum is intended to allow ample opportunity for students to pursue areas of personal interest. These projects expose students to the design process, from concept to product, and emphasize effective communication and presentations skills. Our students learn how to solve practical problems and analyze situations by converting ideas into reliable and cost-effective devices and processes.Ī strong foundation in mechanical engineering fundamentals culminates in a design capstone class where student teams develop prototypes for new products. The Carnegie Mellon Mechanical Engineering curriculum emphasizes engineering theory, hands-on experience, and technical skills. Mechanical engineers work in a variety of sectors: small start-up companies, multi-national corporations, government agencies, national laboratories, consulting firms, and universities. Concerned with the principles of force, energy and motion, they use their knowledge of physical systems, design, manufacture, and operational processes to advance the world around us. Mechanical engineers use their knowledge of mechanical systems to describe phenomena, propose solutions to problems, and build those solutions.
Interim Department Head and George Tallman and Florence Barrett Ladd Professor in Engineering
