Mechanical Engineering (BS)

With a degree in Mechanical Engineering, you'll be ready to address global problems with engineering solutions, working on either thermal or mechanical systems.

Engineering students work on a tabletop project

Mechanical engineers apply hands-on physics to model, analyze, and design mechanical and energy systems such as automobiles, aircraft, ships, heating and cooling systems, prosthetics, robots, household appliances, or industrial equipment and machinery.

What’s different? You'll get individual attention from your professors in rigorous, small classes. This degree can be completed in four years at SPU. You'll learn to think critically and solve quandaries through multiple, extended hands-on projects.

Accredited? Yes, the Mechanical Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, as you would expect.

This major leads to a bachelor of science degree.

A different approach

At SPU, we use engineering to improve our world.

Learn about The Baja SAE team, based in SPU’s Department of Engineering and Computer Science. It goes beyond textbook theory and designs to provides hands-on engineering experience.
