The mechanical engineering faculty is committed to providing the best undergraduate mechanical engineering education possible. The faculty strives to nurture the intellectual, professional, and personal development of the students, to achieve a process of continuous improvement of the curricula, to be professionally current in their field and to maintain state-of-the-art facilities. Our goal is to prepare students for professional practice with a solid, scientifically-grounded foundation in the major stems of mechanical engineering: mechanics, mechanisms, mechanical design, dynamics, control, fluid mechanics, thermal science, and materials science.

 

 

The aspiration of Washington University's mechanical engineering undergraduate faculty is to make positive, substantive, and lasting contributions to the lives of our students. This intent is embodied in the following program educational objectives:

 

To inspire graduates to have the curiosity and love of learning that will motivate them to be constantly sharing their knowledge with others, improving their knowledge and adapting to changes in technology and world needs. To recognize the benefit of a high quality and rigorous engineering education that is enriched by a flexible curriculum with opportunities for solving problems, investigating design alternatives, developing communication skills, and demonstrating professionalism.

 

To apply their comprehensive education in a manner that enables them to respond to society’s needs through the application of design, analysis and synthesis to the development of mechanical and thermal systems by pursuing successful career paths in basic and applied research in either the engineering profession or an alternative field.

 

 

The aerospace engineering faculty is committed to providing the best undergraduate aerospace engineering education possible. The faculty strives to nurture the intellectual, professional, and personal development of the students, to achieve a process of continuous improvement of the curricula, to be professionally current in their field and to maintain state-of-the-art facilities. Our goal is to prepare students for professional practice with a solid, scientifically-grounded foundation in the major stems of aerospace engineering: structures, materials, aerodynamics, flight mechanics, controls, and propulsion.
