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，您将学习成功所需的专业，技术，批判性思维和沟通技巧，并对这一激动人心的领域做出有意义的贡献。<br> <br> ME课程包括除了关于ME概念的课程外，还提供数学，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，
The Thermal Systems Engineering emphasis is comprised of classes that provide understanding of a wide variety of engineered systems that involve thermal sciences. Students can explore devices from nanoscale to macroscale with a firm grounding in heat transfer and thermodynamic principles. This emphasis prepares students to contribute in many different areas where thermal energy conversion and thermal energy transfer are important, including: heating, ventilation, air-conditioning & refrigeration, thermal power plant engineering, and thermo-mechanical design. Students completing this emphasis will be able to apply these principles to practical systems in their industry, or continue their studies in graduate school in programs emphasizing thermal science.<br><br>Mechanical engineers play a significant role in designing and manufacturing all of the products and systems essential to everyday modern life: home appliances, bikes, recreational equipment, automobiles, satellites, wheelchairs, airplanes, robots, industrial equipment, and environmental control 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 research, interning, or coursework. U alumni have found work as engineers in a number of areas such as product design, aerospace, manufacturing, robotics, or sustainable energy - as well, as jobs in quality control and software development. With additional education at the graduate level, students can become professors, researchers, or administrators.
