Faculty Spotlight
Mechanical Engineering
Dr. Herescu's research interests and expertise are in the thermal-fluid sciences, pertaining to thermal and fluid management applied to the development of alternative energy and biomedical technology, in particular applications presenting small passages (e.g., heat exchangers, phase separators and filtration systems) and controlled hydrophilic-hydrophobic wetting.FAQ
Mechanical Engineer, Product Development Engineer, Quality Control Specialist, Agricultural Engineer
Mechantronics, Fluid Mechanics, Mechanical Vibration
The BS in Mechanical Engineering offers three tracks:
- General Mechanical Engineering
- Petroleum
- Semiconductor
This program is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC).
According to Hanover Research, employment in mechanical engineer occupations is expected to grow 11.8%. In terms of volume, aligned occupations are projected to offer 6,994 openings each year due to growth and separations, compared to 2,257 across all occupations.
