The bachelor of science in mechanical engineering is a four-year integrated engineering sequence stressing engineering design and project work, much of which is interdisciplinary and involves constructive teamwork.
Program at a Glance
Graduates with a BS in mechanical engineering can design, develop, build and test mechanical thermal sensors and devices, including tools, engines and machines. Mechanical engineering requires a minimum of 192 credits, comprised of DU common curriculum, required degree courses and technical electives.
The unique part of studying Mechanical Engineering at DU is that your classes are small enough that the professor is always teaching the class instead of a teaching assistant. This enables students to connect with professors on a personal level which helps you get involved with research and find career opportunities.
