Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical Engineering at a glance
Mechanical Engineering is focused on systems in motion, mechanical engineering investigates
topics such as mechanical power transfer, engines, material deformation, heat transfer,
and fluid motion. In Southern’s mechanical engineering concentration, students are
exposed to a variety of engineering systems encountered in power generation, HVAC,
refrigeration, robotics, manufacturing, and many other areas. Mechanical laboratory
spaces house thermal-fluids demonstrations, mechanical properties testing equipment,
and machinery for fabrication and prototyping.
