Undergraduate Minor
The undergraduate programs do not require a minor; however, students may
select an optional minor from the list of approved university minors.
Minors available within the department are:
Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering
(ABET Accredited):
Aerospace engineering is concerned primarily with solving the
problems of flight, and places special emphasis on the design and operation of
all types of aircraft, rockets, satellites, and spacecraft. In recent years,
aerospace engineers have also become involved in the design of
deep-submergence vehicles, modern surface ships, air cushion vehicles, and
ground transportation systems.
Equipment supporting aerospace engineering studies includes digital computers
with interactive graphics; internal combustion engines; microcomputers and
microprocessors; nonlinear control systems; production and tooling shop; low
and high-speed wind tunnels; refrigeration and heat transfer loops; and
instrumentation of a wide variety.
Bachelor of Science in Mechanical
Engineering (ABET Accredited):
Mechanical engineering is a broad discipline which covers
the fields of solid and fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and engineering
design. Basic studies are devoted to machine dynamics, fluid flow, energy and
power systems, mechanical properties of materials, and instrumentation.
Students can specialize in a wide variety of topics, which include power
systems, thermal sciences, automatic controls, reliability and quality
assurance, mechanical design and manufacturing. Equipment supporting
mechanical engineering studies includes digital computers with interactive
graphics; internal combustion engines; microcomputer and microprocessors;
nonlinear control systems; production and tooling shop; low- and high-speed
wind tunnels; a laser-doppler velocimeter; refrigeration and heat transfer
loops; instrumentation of a wide variety, and a materials test apparatus.
