Mechanical engineering: Diversity and versatility

The Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering at Trine University is among the most diverse, versatile, and prevalent of all engineering disciplines. If something moves, it requires the expertise of a mechanical engineer to assess the physics of the environment and of the parts that work to form the whole, the aesthetics of the final product, and the logistics of the manufacturing process.

Mechanical engineers are integral to industries including:

• Technology and innovation
• Energy conversion
• Manufacturing
• Health care
• Aerospace and automation

The experience: Hands-on projects through the entire degree program

Practical designs are the result of any engineering effort and beginning as a freshman, you will be exposed to project work emphasizing engineering design. Project management, design, and manufacturing techniques are learned through hands-on involvement in the laboratories and brought to life in a year-long senior design project completed in the senior year.

It’s easy to talk about excellence . But it’s another thing altogether to truly commit yourself to it each and every day. To live it. To inspire it in everything around you. At Trine University, this commitment to excellence has formed the bedrock of our experience for well over a century. You’ll see it, and you’ll feel it, the second you step on our beautiful, 450-acre campus in Angola, Indiana. Few schools can say they’ve been getting it done at such a high level for nearly 130 years. We can.

A Commitment to Excellence

From our programs to our faculty, to our facilities, to the positive impact our work has on communities everywhere, we set our standards at Trine just a little higher. We can’t help it. It’s who we are. It’s why U.S. News & World Report and the Princeton Review consistently rank us among the Midwest’s best universities, and it’s why more than 1,900 companies around the world seek out our graduates.

An Innovative Spirit

Innovation is in our DNA at Trine. It always has been. In fact, the modern-day golf ball was patented by a Trine graduate. Our students enjoy an active and engaging learning experience, winning national awards for the hands-on work they accomplish. We’ve invested more than $8 million in the Division of Innovation and Technology. And we recently unveiled a new, high-tech Project Based Learning Center for Excellence.
