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
The Dynamics & Control emphasis recognizes that modeling and control of dynamic systems go hand-in-hand, and provides a strong foundation in both these disciplines. All students choosing this emphasis are required to take ME EN 5205, which instructs students in a unified graphical approach to modeling interconnected dynamic systems with elements from multiple domains (e.g. mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, thermal, etc). Students are encouraged to take 5205 as either a corequisite or prerequisite to a course in control theory (ME EN 5200 or 5210). ME EN 5200 emphasizes fundamental linear control methods for basic single-input single-output systems, while ME EN 5210 covers more advanced state-space methods that can be applied to multi-input multi-output systems. Students must also select one additional course specializing in dynamics (ME EN 5400 or 5410), both of which build on basic rigid body dynamic principles from ME EN 2030. ME EN 5400 covers in-depth modeling and analysis of vibrational dynamics, while ME EN 5410 instructs students in the Langrangian method, a mathematical technique that is particularly useful for modeling dynamic systems with multiple bodies and degrees of freedom.<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.
