The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan-Dearborn offers the Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree in the field of Mechanical Engineering in its undergraduate program.

The mechanical engineering field is one of the oldest of the several engineering fields. It is concerned with so many areas of modern technology that the tasks and challenges of the mechanical engineer are most interesting and varied.

The mechanical engineer is comfortable working with people as well as with machines. For example, the role in vehicle design is that of making technical advances in performance, efficiency, and cost while simultaneously meeting the life and comfort requirements of operators and passengers. Logically, then, the mechanical engineer is active in the new fields of biomechanics, biomaterials, biomedical fluid mechanics and heat transfer, air and water pollution, water desalinization, sensory aids, and prostheses.

The undergraduate programs in mechanical engineering provide first a strong foundation in all of the basic ingredients of engineering: the natural and physical sciences, mathematics, a comprehensive socio-economic-cultural background, the behavioral sciences, and finally the basic engineering sciences that begin the development of problem-solving skills.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan-Dearborn in collaboration with the other Departments of the College of Engineering and Computer Sciences and the Department of Natural Sciences offers the Bachelor of Science Degree in Bioengineering. The broad objective of this program is to provide an educational curriculum whose graduates will be technically skilled and socially responsible bioengineering engineers or professionals. Necessary to this broad objective is that the graduates possess strong skills in analysis, computation and experimentation, particularly as these skills
impact bioengineering systems, design and application. Complementary to these skills are respect for engineering ethical behavior and understanding of the natural interaction of the profession with society. The graduates must also be adept communicators and team members and be prepared for work in the field, studies in graduate and professional programs.
