Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineering students study the behavior of materials and how energy is converted from one form to another. This broad and comprehensive knowledge base of these engineers and mechanics qualifies them to play an effective role in water desalination and energy production plants, transportation system design, environmental physics control, robotics design, and the design, diagnosis, and control of various industrial plants and machines.
