Graduates will be prepared to creatively solve engineering problems through the use of analysis, computation, and experimentation. Students completing the program should be well-informed citizens who have the ability to grow intellectually and are able to solve new, challenging problems with self-confidence. It is the department's intent to maintain a general and flexible curriculum that prepares students for both industrial practice and graduate education.\n \n Educational Objectives\n \n The objective of the UNH Mechanical Engineering Program is to produce graduates who are ethical professionals and good citizens. As they progress in the first several years following graduation, they are expected to:\n \n \n \n - Use their engineering education and communication skills for success in:\n \n \n \n - Technical careers in industry, academia, government, or other organizations;\n \n - Graduate school in engineering or physical sciences;\n \n - Nontechnical careers or education in areas such as law, medicine, business, public policy, secondary education, service industries, etc.;\n \n - Careers involving management or entrepreneurship.\n \n \n \n \n \n - Exercise lifelong learning to:\n \n \n \n - Pursue professional development opportunities in their disciplines;\n \n - Develop new knowledge and skills;\n \n - Pursue new areas of expertise or careers.\n \n \n \n \n \n - Use their engineering background to:\n \n \n \n - Solve technical problems for societal benefit;\n \n - Develop new knowledge and products that will promote sustainable economic and environmental developments to improve the quality of life;\n \n - Promote the practice of engineering.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Mechanical engineering is a challenging profession and has two major emphases. The first is the general area of mechanical design, which involves all types of mechanical motion and the forces and energy that drive it. The other emphasis deals with energy generation and conversion and is grounded in the principles of the thermal and fluid sciences. Other subject areas, which support both emphases and are frequently part of designs and products, are the materials sciences, manufacturing, and control systems. All of these areas are included in the education and training of mechanical engineers. Ocean engineering is another focus area in our department which emphasizes solving engineering problems associated with the sustainable utilization of ocean resources and the scientific exploration and study of the ocean environment. Mechanical engineering requires significant study in mathematics, engineering computing, and basic sciences such as chemistry and physics, as well as basic engineering courses, before reaching the more specialized courses.
