Department of Mechanical, Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering
Nagi G. Naganathan, Chairperson
Degrees Offered
The Department of Mechanical, Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering offers ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) accredited programs leading to the Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering (BSIE) and Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) degrees.
The goals of the BSIE and BSME programs are to prepare graduates for professional careers in mechanical and/or industrial engineering or in manufacturing as well as for graduate study. This is accomplished by providing technical knowledge, increasing mental skills and developing professional attitudes through courses designed with a balance of mathematics, physical sciences, fundamental and specialized engineering courses, humanities, social science and multicultural courses.
Industrial Engineering deals with the development of better ways to cost effectively produce products with improved quality, safety and reliability as well as determine the most efficient way to perform tasks needed in the business world. This is an exciting and broad field involving high-level technology, manufacturing systems, management and people.
Mechanical Engineering deals with design, computer-aided design, development, manufacturing, testing, research, maintenance, applications and sales. Mechanical Engineering is the largest field in engineering, employing over one-fourth of all engineers. This broad and diverse field provides a strong foundation for pursuing a law, business or medical degree and affords many advantages in the professional world.
