Engineering your Future

The Mechanical Engineering (ME) program at CSU offers a curriculum that combines classroom learning with engineering practice. The ME program goal for students is to give our graduates the engineering skills to obtain leading positions in advanced technology fields.

In the undergraduate program, a broad spectrum of classes is available for learning about the fundamentals of the mechanical engineering profession. Students not only learn about mechanical engineering analysis and design, they also gain valuable hands-on experience through class projects and application-oriented research. All senior ME students can participate in designing and building a capstone project that is part of a national senior design competition. Students also have the opportunity for research-based projects. Each project is based on a corporate model that provides students significant opportunities for leadership development and experiential learning.

In the graduate program, MS and PhD students are integral members of research teams addressing global issues. Student researchers apply the fundamental concepts of mechanical engineering to aid in the development of new technology in areas which include: biofuels, clean engines, photovoltaic solar cells, battery technologies, materials science, bioengineering, plasmas and space propulsion, dynamics and controls, and motorsport engineering.
