Is University of Maryland good for Mechanical Engineering?

Question

Accepted Answer

Mechanical engineering students begin their studies by acquiring a solid foundation in mathematics, physics and design. Higher-level courses cover the fundamental principles in the areas of solid mechanics, thermo fluids and design and manufacturing systems. Laboratory and elective courses give students the opportunity to test these principles and apply them individually and as teams in projects that involve design challenges from the material processing, energy conversion and aerospace industries, among others. All Mechanical Engineering students take courses in Engineering Design as part of the core curriculum. The ME Design Experience culminates in a capstone design project, completed as part of a team and designed to provide the students with the type of work they will be performing as practicing engineers. Interested students may also pursue a minor in Entrepreneurship through the Alex Brown Center for Entrepreneurship by taking a combination of entrepreneurship courses and Mechanical Engineering courses that include entrepreneurial skills development. Through the Mechanical Engineering Department or the Career Center at UMBC, you have the opportunity to step outside the boundaries of the classroom and experience the real world through internships, co-ops, and/or research opportunities.
