Mechanical engineering is the field of engineering focused on designing, analyzing, manufacturing, and improving machines, systems, and products through the principles of mechanics, energy, materials, and design. Opportunities in mechanical engineering span numerous academic disciplines, including robotics, aerospace engineering, automotive engineering, biomedical engineering, renewable energy, manufacturing, materials science, biomechanics, ocean engineering, thermal and fluid systems, and engineering design; at the University of Rhode Island, students can explore these areas through the Mechanical Engineering program and related academic areas such as ocean engineering, biomedical engineering, computer science, physics, and applied mathematics. Graduates with a mechanical engineering degree can pursue careers as mechanical engineers, design engineers, product development engineers, manufacturing engineers, robotics engineers, aerospace engineers, thermal systems engineers, energy engineers, automotive engineers, biomedical engineers, materials engineers, and research and development engineers across industries including technology, healthcare, aerospace, transportation, energy, and advanced manufacturing.
