Program Description
The bachelor of science in mechanical engineering at CU Denver offers interesting and challenging career opportunities in research, design, development, manufacturing, testing and marketing for either private industry or government.
If hands-on design is of interest, students will find mechanical engineering to be a broad field—one that covers numerous industries including automotive, appliance, biomechanical, chemical and material processing, energy, computers, electronics and aerospace. Students will gain a strong background in theory and analysis in numerical methods and finite element analysis. All students are required to complete basic design courses, and in the senior year, students may choose an area of study from the following:
- biomechanics
- energy systems & thermal design
- dynamics & control systems
- fluid mechanics & solid mechanics
- material science & composites
