About ENME

Today's mechanical engineers use cutting-edge computing, smart sensors and electronic technology to design and manufacture automated products for the future. Science and technology will continue to expand, and so will the demand for skilled mechanical engineers.

With research emphases in areas such as smart structures, electronics packaging, energy and environmental engineering and manufacturing, the department has strong links with other engineering departments, centers and institutes. This interdisciplinary focus benefits students, faculty and industry.

The Clark School's mechanical engineering graduates choose from a wide array of career paths, demonstrating that the degree is an excellent stepping stone for a rewarding professional life. Currently mechanical engineering graduates are pursuing divergent careers in medicine, software design and environmental engineering in addition to the traditional mechanical engineering fields such as heat transfer, fluids, manufacturing and fracture mechanics.
