Mechanical

Program Statement

This concentration prepares students to work as technicians and mechanical designers. Students learn aspects of mechanical engineering such as computer-aided design, fluid systems, materials science, and strength of materials. 

Program Information

• Students gain hands-on experience with mechanical systems (hydraulics, pneumatics and mechanisms), materials, and computer-aided design.
• Students should be in a Math (MTH) course every semester until they have completed their sequence.
• For students with adequate mathematical preparedness, and interested in transfer, PHY 211: General Physics I and PHY 212: General Physics II can be substituted for PHY 101: Technical Physics I and PHY 102: Technical Physics II.
• Completing courses in the summer will reduce fall and spring semester course loads.
• Oral Communication General Education Competency Infused. 

After Bristol

• Graduates may work as mechanical/CAD designers, and manufacturing, industrial and design technicians.
• If you are considering transferring to a four-year institution, speak with your advisor and visit Transfer Services for additional information.
