机械工程学学士学位（BSME）计划是2加2计划。学生将在头两年中学习数学，科学和工程学的低年级课程。在大二结束时，学生申请入读BSME高中课程。机械与材料工程系是一个多层面的计划，在各个研究领域都提供了丰富的教育经验。该系提供学士学位，两个硕士学位和一个博士学位。该系拥有14.5名终身教授和终身制教授，4名全职研究人员，4名全职员工以及各种才华兼职和附属研究人员。
Mechanical Engineering is a broad discipline, based on a solid foundation of mathematics principles and engineering physics concepts. Mechanical Engineers are problem solvers, who design, analyze, manufacture, and maintain mechanical systems. An education in Mechanical Engineering offers students an opportunity to create something meaningful, that will affect everyday life, with exceptional career prospects. The Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) program is a 2 plus 2 program. Students spend their first two years taking lower-division courses in math, science, and engineering. At the end of their sophomore year, students apply for admission to the BSME upper-division program. Upon admission into the BSME, students will have an opportunity to take courses in specialty areas and explore undergraduate research. According to the US Department of Education, the median annual earnings for Mechanical Engineers, one year after graduation, is 61,100. Upon graduation, students find they are well-equipped to enter the workforce with the following industry partners: Autodesk, Blount, Blue Origin, Boeing, Daimler Trucks North America, Galois, Hewlett-Packard, Hyster-Yale, Intel, Jacobs Engineering Group, NASA, Nike, PAE Consulting Engineers, PCC Structurals, Portland General Electric, Precision Castparts, 3D Systems, Tektronix, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Warn Industries, Xerox, and others. Common jobs titles within these industry partners are: Bioengineer, Energy Engineer, Manufacturing Development Engineer, Mechanical Designer, Mechanical Engineer, Mechatronics Engineer, Powertrain Control Lead, Process Engineer, Project Engineer, Quality Engineer, Research Engineer, Software Engineer, Structural Engineer, Sustaining Engineer, Systems Engineer, and Test Engineer, among others.
