机械工程师在设计和制造日常生活中必不可少的所有产品和系统中起着重要作用：家用电器，自行车，娱乐设备，汽车，卫星，轮椅，飞机，机器人，工业设备和环境控制系统。机械工程（ME）领域涉及所有这些系统的机械，热和流体流动方面，包括复杂系统的计算机和反馈控制。作为犹他大学的机械工程系学生，您将学习成功取得成功并为这个令人兴奋的领域做出有意义的贡献所需要的专业，技术，批判性思维和沟通技巧。ME课程除包括ME概念课程外，还包括数学，物理和化学课程：学生学习热流体，固体力学，机电一体化和其他相关主题，其中包括为期8个月的
Aerospace engineering is the primary field of engineering concerned with the design, development, testing, and production of aircraft, spacecraft, and related systems and equipment. The field has traditionally focused on problems related to atmospheric and space flight, with two major and overlapping branches: aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering. Aeronautical Engineering focuses on the theory, technology, and practice of flight within the earth's atmosphere. Astronautical Engineering focuses on the science and technology of spacecraft and launch vehicles (i.e. outside of the earth's atmosphere). Students with an emphasis in Aerospace Engineering will gain knowledge and skills related to aerodynamics, materials and structures, propulsion, and dynamics and control.<br><br>Mechanical engineers play a significant role in designing and manufacturing all of the products and systems essential to everyday modern life: recreational equipment, automobiles, aerospace systems, airplanes, medical devices, robots, industrial equipment, power generation, and sustainable energy systems. The field of mechanical engineering (ME) is concerned with the mechanical, thermal, and fluid-flow aspects of all of these systems, including computer and feedback control of complex systems. As a mechanical engineering student at the University of Utah, you will learn the professional, technical, critical thinking, and communication skills you need to be successful and make meaningful contributions to this exciting field.<br><br>Mechanical engineers are prepared to pursue work in a variety of fields using the skills gained from coursework, research, or interning. U alumni have found work as engineers in a number of areas such as product design, aerospace, medical devices, robotics, manufacturing, sustainable energy, hi-tech, and software development including artificial intelligence and machine learning. With additional education at the graduate level, students can become project managers, professors, researchers, lawyers, or doctors.
