机械工程师设计和开发您认为是机械的一切东西，无论是机械的还是能产生动力的。从家用电器，电动工具，自行车和计算机硬盘驱动器，到空调系统，汽车发动机，飞机，喷气机和核反应堆的涡轮机，机械工程行业对我们生活的世界负责。在如此广阔的领域中，机械工程师可以期待获得丰厚的，充满活力的职业。获得机械工程理学学士学位的学习计划反映了该专业的广度。学生完成机械，热学和材料科学方面的课程。由于机械工程师对社会的巨大影响，该课程还要求学生继续学习社会科学和人文科学。
Mechanical engineers design and develop everything you think of as a machine, that is mechanical or that produces power. From home appliances, power tools, bicycles and computer hard drives to air conditioning systems, car engines, planes, turbines for jets and nuclear reactors, the profession of mechanical engineering is responsible for much of the world in which we live. In such a broad field, a mechanical engineer can look forward to a highly rewarding, dynamic career. The Mechanical Engineering program at FAU is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. The program of study leading to a bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering reflects the breadth of the profession. Students complete coursework in the mechanical, thermal and material sciences. Because of the tremendous impact mechanical engineers have on society, the curriculum also requires students to pursue studies in the social sciences and the humanities.
