机械工程专业（指定为预科）是两个课程的组合。在“热/流体”茎中，学生学习流体力学，传热和热力学。在材料/机械系统主干中，学生学习工程材料和制造过程以及控制系统和机器设计。学生还可以在学位计划中添加各种选修课。这有助于发展他们感兴趣的专业领域。机械工程师专业可以期望在许多职位和行业中找到工作机会，包括航空航天，建筑，石油和天然气等。许多学生还在Baylor和其他机构的工程领域继续学业。
The Mechanical Engineering major (designated as a pre-major) helps students build a strong engineering foundation by studying thermal/fluids, materials/mechanical systems and design. In addition to foundational mechanical engineering courses, students can further specialize by choosing electives that will improve their ability to apply fundamentals and to design machines and energy systems. Available courses include:<br>Mechanical Vibrations<br>Thermodynamics<br>Composite Materials<br>Heat Transfer<br>Biomechanics<br>Additionally, there are organizations dedicated specifically to mechanical Engineering students. From the Society of Automotive Engineers Baja, to National Society of Black Engineers to Engineers with a Mission, students will have opportunities to engage in leadership, professional development, student projects and service. Mechanical Engineer majors can expect to find job opportunities in many positions and industries including aerospace, architecture, oil and gas, and many others. Many students also continue their education in the engineering field at Baylor and other institutions.
