Mechanical engineering has its foundation in the basic sciences, including mathematics, physics, and chemistry, and requires an understanding of such areas as solid and fluid mechanics, materials, thermodynamics, heat and mass transfer, manufacturing processes, instrumentation, and control. Mechanical engineers are engaged in a variety of activities including design, manufacturing, research, development, testing, construction, operations, sales, management, consulting, and teaching.

The mechanical engineering curriculum provides a broad base on which to build an engineering career. Traditional subjects in mechanical engineering are complemented by extensive computer experience in such areas as computer-aided design and numerical problem solving. The programs flexibility allows students to specialize in the areas of their choosing through the choice of electives.

This degree is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission ABET (Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology).

The lessons students learn in classes and laboratories receive the ultimate test through the cooperative education and internship programs offered by the university. Through these internships students will meet and interact with business leaders from leading companies in south central Indiana.

• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering

Admission as a beginning student into the Purdue engineering program at IUPUC is determined by a combination of rank in class, test scores, probability of success, grade average in college preparatory subjects, grades in courses related to the degree objective, trends in achievement, completion of high school subject matter requirements, and information provided by your high school counselor.

Students not admitted directly to engineering may enter IUPUC through University College while they work toward their goals and meet the requirements for admission to engineering.
