Mechanical Engineering
Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering
To meet the increasing demand of more robust, efficient, and economic design, new paradigms of engineered systems are inherently complex and contain a large number of heterogeneous subsystems. Mechanical Engineers are now required to have design thinking skills for complex system to understand and interact with a large number of subsystem design experts. To graduate engineers with these new design thinking skills and technical abilities, the mechanical engineering undergraduate curriculum is anchored on series of design courses. The curriculum includes cornerstone, capstone courses and provide systemic competence in four thematic focus areas (Thermofluid Engineering, Solid Mechanics, System Dynamics and Control, Design and Manufacturing) essential to students; career success.

Enrollment and Graduation Data
Fast-Track Bachelor of Science/Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering Program
The Department also offers a Fast Track BS/MS program that allows select ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Undergraduate Mechanical Engineering students to use graduate classes to satisfy up to 12 standard credit hours (SCH) for the BS degree and MS degree. This effectively reduces the total time to compete a M.S. in Mechanical Engineering by one semester. Students interested in this program should contact Iliana Treviño at itrevino2@utep.edu by the end of their sophomore year.
