What is Mechanical Engineering?
Mechanical engineers serve humanity! We contribute immensely throughout the world to protecting the environment, increasing quality of life, and contributing to overall economic development. Broadly speaking, mechanical engineers deal with things that move and use energy (i.e., almost everything!). In fact, there is not a day that goes by that you don’t use hundreds of things that mechanical engineers have brought to life. Some examples of things that we design and build are: cars, artificial hearts, artificial limbs, airplanes, power plants, ink pens, robots, pollution control systems, environmental remediation systems, children’s toys, motors, engines, and air conditioning and refrigeration systems. This list could go on and on. In short, do you love to tinker, like to help people, worry about the global environment, or like to take things apart just to see how they work? Then mechanical engineering is for you! At CUA, we offer a well-balanced program with up-to-date design, laboratory, and computer experiences. Your CUA experience will open you to a world of possibilities – everything from traditional careers in engineering to law to business to medicine. There are no limits!
