Mechanical Engineering (B.S.)
The Marymount Engineering program provides students with the skills and tools necessary to develop technologies that enable individuals and communities to improve their quality of life. With a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Marymount University, students will create technological solutions that promote an individual’s ability to be active and engaged members of their community and society at-large.
Students who successfully complete the B.S. in Mechanical Engineering will be able to demonstrate:
- an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics;
- an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors;
- an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences;
- an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts;
- an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives;
- an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions;
- an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
Within three (3) to five (5) years after graduation, alumni of the program are expected to:
- Achieve professional success by excelling in their chosen career paths and collaborating effectively across diverse teams and cultures;
- Contribute to society by addressing social, ethical, or environmental challenges within their field;
- Enhance their skills through continued learning, including research, advanced degrees, professional development, or self-education; and
- Inspire the next generation of engineers through intellectual curiosity and purpose-driven innovation.
Program Recommendation: It is recommended that each student entering the second semester of the first-year engineering curriculum (ENGR 110) purchase a laptop computer that meets minimum specifications for industry standard design and simulation software. Recommended laptop and software specifications are available on the Marymount website.
