Mechanical engineering is a critical subdivision of engineering that centers on creating technologies to meet society's needs. Without it, many of our most-used technologies like cars, airplanes, and even refrigerators wouldn't exist. From design to the marketplace, mechanical engineers play a key role in the entire manufacturing process of a product. Using problem-solving techniques, mechanical engineers analyze their work to ensure designs function safely and efficiently.
As a Widener student, you'll not only study the fundamentals of mechanical engineering such as strength of materials, fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, design of machinery, and vibration and control, but also participate in application-oriented labs and project experiences. Here, you'll benefit from a supportive environment that encourages analytical and creative thinking while being exposed to the industry through real-world applications.
