Why study Mechanical Engineering BS/MBA at UB?

Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest of the engineering disciplines and one of the most practical. Mechanical engineers are involved in research and development, innovation, design, manufacturing and technical sales of a wide variety of products. Specific areas of involvement include computer-aided design and manufacturing, robotics, autonomous systems, sustainable energy systems, power-producing machines, engines, materials, vehicles and systems of transportation, industrial production equipment, control and sensor devices, instrumentation, biomedical devices, pollution control devices, underwater technology, space flight equipment advanced propulsion systems, and safety devices and sensors.

Learning Outcomes

The Mechanical Engineering BS Program at UB is accredited by ABET, which requires a formal Outcomes Assessment and Continuous Improvement process to insure educational excellence. The Program Educational Objectives for the ME program are:

Graduates will hold a position in mechanical engineering or other professional careers or will be engaged in advanced study
Graduates will serve their profession and their community by participation in professional and community groups
Graduates will use the unique problem-solving skills from their engineering training to make a significant, informed impact on current and future societal challenge

In addition, the curriculum provides opportunities for students to develop the following knowledge, skills, and behaviors by the time of graduation:

• an ability to identify, formulate and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
• 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
• an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
• 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
• 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
• an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
• an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies

Career Outlook

Mechanical engineering is expected to show stable employment growth of 9% per year through 2020, with more than 21,300 additional mechanical engineers required nationally
