Engineering - Mechanical Engineering

Overview

Knowledge of mathematics, physics, and chemistry lies at the core of this field. Application of this knowledge uses engineering technology -- a disciplined way of thinking, modeling, and testing that enables development of new systems despite incomplete information and uncertainty.

The Engineering - Mechanical Engineering program offered at California State University, Fresno provides basics and advanced studies in design, advanced materials, alternative energy and sustainable systems, engineering mechanics, mechatronics and controls and thermo-fluids. All areas include statics, dynamics, materials, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and experimental methods. 

Application areas in design include mechanics of materials, applied mechanics, structural and manufacturing aspects of producing equipment, and vibrations. Application areas in thermal and fluid mechanics focus on energy conversion and include combustion, heat engines, refrigeration, and fluid flow.

Program Educational Objectives 

Our alumni (within three to five years after graduation) will:

• Be engaged in a professional career of graduate studies using knowledge and skills obtained in their ME education;

• Become leaders and effective communicators actively involved in their community for the betterment of society.
