Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Mechanical Engineering
Internships and Facilities
Learn Practical and Technical Skills with a Degree in Mechanical Engineering
If you enjoy designing and working with mechanics and robotics, a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering provides a way for you to get the training you need to further develop your passion and skills. Throughout this degree, you’ll work with tools, engines, and machines and have the chance to design, develop, build, and test mechanical devices. With mechanical engineering, you can expect to be prepared for general-purpose machinery manufacturing, automotive parts manufacturing, and management of other companies and testing laboratories prior to graduation.
Pursue Your Engineering Degree with Confidence
- In addition to Liberty University’s regional accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges, the Mechanical Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission(s) of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria and the Program Criteria for Mechanical and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.
- In your program, you’ll learn from professors who have doctoral degrees and years of experience in the field of engineering.
- As an engineering major, you have multiple opportunities for hands-on learning with required labs in our state-of-the-art facilities, as well as an optional internship where you’ll gain real-world experience.
What Will You Learn?
- Risk analysis
- How to calculate certainty and uncertainty into a production plan
- The properties, strengths, and weaknesses of different materials in the manufacturing process
- How to develop and program computer-controlled machines
- How to use sensors and motion transmission controllers for machine functionality
Career Opportunities for Mechanical Engineering Graduates
- Mechanical Engineer
- Quality Engineer
- Reliability Engineer
