Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering (ME) is concerned with energy and its transformations and the design of objects and structures that move. Mechanical engineers are responsible for conceiving, designing, modelling, manufacturing, testing, and marketing devices such as engines and energy systems, machines and robotics among countless other devices. Typical careers involve product design, development, manufacturing, sales, management, teaching, and research. Mechanical Engineering at 海角社区offers an ABET accredited BS degree, as well as a Master’s degree. Our alumni find success in top tier companies and graduate schools across the country.

Academic Programs, Objectives and Outcomes

Prospective students (incoming freshmen, transfers, and graduate students) are encouraged to explore the academic programs and policies for the various ME programs. ME is part of the School of Engineering at UNF. There are academic policies that apply across all engineering majors and disciplines. Be sure to meet with an SOE Advisor often to ensure you are on the right path to graduation.

Academic Programs

Mechanical Engineering Program Educational Objectives

海角社区Engineering graduates will:

  • be engaged in successful careers in industry through their strong technical, hands-on, critical thinking, and team player skills.
  • have initiative to advance and become culturally aware leaders and mentors in their chosen profession and/or community
  • be innovators through professional growth, continuing education, and research.

Mechanical Engineering Student Outcomes

At the time of graduation, Mechanical Engineering students will have achieved the following Student Outcomes:

  1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
  2. an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
  3. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
  4. an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
  5. an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
  6. an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
  7. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
  8. an ability to apply principles of engineering, basic science, and mathematics (including multivariate calculus and differential equations)
  9. an ability to model, analyze, design, and realize physical systems, components or processes
  10. Prepare students to work professionally in either thermal or mechanical systems while requiring topics in each area

Schedules and Advising

Engineering courses are progressively complex, relying on a carefully designed sequence of courses which must be taken in the proper order. Since many courses have multiple prerequisites, it helpful to use the term-by-term sample schedule in Osprey Maps to gain and understanding of what your path may look like.  However, the Osprey Map is an aid, should not to be used in lieu of academic advising.  Contact your SOE (School of Engineering) Advisor today to schedule an appointment.
