Mechanical Engineers rely upon knowledge of matter and energy conversions, motions, and forces obtained from computer simulations and experimental investigations of processes and systems. The Mechanical Engineer is able to design mechanisms, machines, and structures to serve a specific purpose, such as the manufacture of high-tech materials, including ceramics and composites, and high-tech equipment, such as advanced automation and control systems. They are also trained to determine both experimentally and theoretically the heat and energy transfer rates that occur within engineering devices, such as internal combustion engines, electronic equipment, robots, solar energy systems, rocket engines, steam and gas turbines, and nuclear reactors.
The curriculum in mechanical and aeropace engineering at Rutgers places emphasis on a thorough understanding of the fundamental principles and engineering methods of analysis and reasoning. The curriculum is comprehensive and lays the foundation for more advanced scientific and technical research or industry leaders of tomorrow.
The Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department offers academic degrees both at undergraduate and graduate (MS and Ph.D.) levels. The department has more than 400 undergraduate (Sophomore, Junior and Senior) students, nearly 100 graduate students, most of them the enrolled on a full-time basis, and several post-doctoral associates. The faculty of the department consists of 29 members in residence, and some individuals from local industry. The staff supporting the activities of the department includes six full-time administrative staff, and two laboratory technicians.
Our Educational Objectives:
-
To educate and train students in Mechanical Engineering in a technically sound, challenging and professional manner,
-
To prepare students to enter careers ready to make positive contributions to their profession and society, or to continue on to successful graduate research and education,
-
To inculcate in students the responsibilities and rewards associated with an engineering career and life-long service to the profession
