USF 1996-97 Undergraduate Catalog - Pages 118 - 119 | Course Descriptions |
Students pursuing the Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering program take coursework in thermodynamics and heat transfer; instrumentation and measurements, energy conversion systems, solid and fluid mechanics, dynamics, machine analysis and design, mechanical design, controls, and fluid machinery. This is supplemented by elective coursework in such areas as power plant analysis, refrigeration and air conditioning, mechanical design, advanced mechanics, heat transfer, robotics, propulsion, vibrations, computer-aided design, manufacturing, composite materials, and aerodynamics.
Students completing this option normally enter careers in a wide range of industries which either produce mechanical products or rely on machines, mechanical devices and systems to produce electricity, petroleum products, foods, textiles, building materials, etc. Mechanical Engineering graduates may follow careers in such fields as transportation, power generation, manufacturing, instrumentation, automatic control, machine design, construction, refrigeration, heating and air conditioning, aerospace, defense and all the process industries (foods, textiles, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, etc.). There are career opportunities in this wide range of industries because mechanical equipment is required in all aspects of industrial production.
