机械工程师是富有创造力的问题解决者，他们设计，开发和制造运行能源，建筑，环境和运输系统的机器和仪器。示例包括生物医学设备，地面/空中/太空飞行器，机器人，环境控制设备和发电厂。在机械工程专业，学生在开始设计和计算工程学研究时，会学习基础科学和数学课程。我们设计了各种各样的课程来提高解决问题的能力。高三侧重于为期一年的顶点设计课程，以帮助学生从大学过渡到工程职业。学生还可以从能源，汽车，材料科学，制造，动力学系统，机器人技术和控制，仿真和建模以及生物医学工程领域中选择技术选修课。参与实验室提供了一个活跃的学
Mechanical engineers are creative problem solvers who design, develop, and manufacture the machines and instrumentation that run energy, building, environmental, and transportation systems. Examples include biomedical devices, ground/air/space vehicles, robots, environmental control equipment, and power plants.<br><br>In Mechanical Engineering, students take basic science and mathematics courses while beginning their engineering studies in design and computing. A broad spectrum of classes is designed to sharpen problem-solving skills. The senior year focuses on a year-long capstone design course to help students in the transition from college to an engineering career. Students also choose technical electives from the energy, automotive, material science, manufacturing, dynamic systems, robotics and controls, simulation and modeling, and biomedical engineering areas. Participation in labs provides an active learning environment and further develops design, modeling, and analytical skills.<br><br>Mechanical Engineering at CSU is dedicated to graduating ethical mechanical engineers who:<br><br>Make an impact on society's global, grand engineering challenges.<br>Act as innovative and creative engineering designers who identify, analyze, and solve complex problems.<br>Function as accomplished thinkers with hands-on practical skills.<br>Serve as local, regional, and global collaborators and communicators.<br>Commit to life-long learning.<br>Uphold the CSU Principles of Community which encompass inclusion, integrity, respect, service, and social justice.
