Engineering as recommended by the department of mechanical engineering

Course 2-A is designed for students whose academic and career goals demand greater breadth and flexibility than are allowed under the mechanical engineering program, Course 2. To a large extent, the 2-A program allows students an opportunity to tailor a curriculum to their own needs, starting from a solid mechanical engineering base. The program combines a rigorous grounding in core mechanical engineering topics with an individualized course of study focused on a second area that the student designs with the help and approval of the 2-A faculty advisor. The program leads to the degree Bachelor of Science in Engineering as Recommended by the Department of Mechanical Engineering. This program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET as an engineering degree. The educational objectives of the program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering as recommended by the Department of Mechanical Engineering are that: Within a few years of graduation, a majority of our graduates will have completed or be progressing through top graduate programs; advancing in leadership tracks in industry, non-profit organizations, or the public sector; or pursuing entrepreneurial ventures. In these roles they will: (1) apply a deep working knowledge or technical fundamentals in areas related to mechanical, electromechanical, and thermal systems to address needs of the customer and society; (2) develop innovative technologies and find solutions to engineering problems; (3) communicate effectively as members of multidisciplinary teams; (4) be sensitive to professional and societal contexts and committed to ethical action; (5) lead in the conception, design, and implementation of new products, processes, services, and systems. A significant part of the 2-A curriculum consists of electives chosen by the student to provide in-depth study of a field of the student's choosing . A wide variety of popular concentrations are possible in...
