The mission of the mechanical engineering program is to provide quality undergraduate education in engineering principles, emphasizing critical and analytical thinking skills, to our diverse community of students. The program objectives call for students to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs, demonstrate skills required for communicating to all audiences, and to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities which ties to the mission statement of the university where students are prepared to achieve professional and personal success in a multicultural and global society. This program specifically provides a high-quality curriculum that is relevant to the needs of our state for supporting the needs for engineers in the state. The curriculum provides immersive learning opportunities through the Engineering Design I, Engineering Design II, and Design Practicum courses.
Specialty Accreditation
NSU will be seeking accreditation through ABET.
Student Learning Outcomes
Students will be able to:
Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
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.
Demonstrate skills required for communicating and working with natural scientists, engineers, social scientists, managers, business leaders, policy makers, and the general public.
Recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments.
Function effectively on a team whose members create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
Develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
Be proficient in using computer-aided design concepts.
Acquire and apply new knowledge as needed.
Mechanical Engineering General Education Requirements - 46 hours
A minimum of 46 hours of academic work in general education is required during the freshman and sophom*ore years. For students transferring with the Associate of Arts degree or Associate of Science degree from a public institution in Oklahoma, all general education requirements will be satisfied with respect to degree requirements. However, some majors may require other specific general education courses as program prerequisites or program requirements. Students should consult advisors and the program’s plan of study for further information. Students are required to complete general education requirements by the time they have completed 90 semester hours of college work. SeeGeneral Education Requirementsfor more information.

In addition to general education and program requirements stated above, additional hours may be needed to satisfy all minimum degree requirements listed below.
English Proficiency: Components I and II of English proficiency should be met with grades of “C” or better prior to the completion of 60 credit hours.
A minimum of 120 hours is required althout several science and health profession majors require more. PE activity hours cannot be counted toward the total degree credit hours. Prior learning credit (CLEP, Advanced Standing, Military Credit, etc) is limited to 30 hours.
A minimum of 30 hours in residence (from NSU) is required for graduation. Hours in residence exclude zero-level courses and prior learning credit such as CLEP, Advanced Placement, Advanced Standing, Military Credit, etc.
A minimum of 40 hours of 3000/4000 level courses is required for graduation.
A minimum of 60 hours from a 4-year school is required for graduation excluding zero level and PE activity courses.
At least fifty percent of the major requirements must be upper division courses (3000 and 4000 level).
At least 18 hours or fifty percent of the major, whichever is greater, must be satisfactorily completed at NSU.
The minimum number of credit hours required in the Liberal Arts and Sciences varies based on the type of degree. B.S. degrees require at least 55 hours andB.S.Ed., B.S.M.L.S.,B.S.N., and B.S.S.L.P.degrees requireat least 40 hours. Liberal Arts and Sciences (LAS) courses are identified in catalog course descriptions.

In the fall of 2023, Northeastern State University launched a new mechanical engineering bachelor's degree, aiming to provide a quality undergraduate education
education
Education is about learning skills and knowledge. It also means helping people to learn how to do things and support them to think about what they learn. It is also important for educators to teach ways to find and use information. Education needs research to find out how to make it better.
Northeastern University is ranked No.38 (tie) out of 199 in Best Engineering Schools. Schools were assessed on their performance across a set of widely accepted indicators of excellence.
Undergraduate students start with key topics such as statics and dynamics, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, stress analysis, mechanical design, and technical drawing. As the course progresses, students can specialise in areas like vehicle design, robotics, nanotechnology, or energy.
With its collaborations across departments and institutions, the Department of Mechanical Engineering educates the engineers of the future while conducting leading-edge research in Advanced Manufacturing, AI and Design, Biosystems and Health, Computational Engineering, Energy and Sustainability, Micro/nanoengineering, ...
The Mechanical Engineering Department at NAU offers programs leading to bachelor of science, master of science, master of engineering, and doctor of philosophy degrees in mechanical engineering.
Thermodynamics: This course deals with energy and its conversion between different forms. You'll study topics like heat transfer, work, and the first and second laws of thermodynamics. The complex theories and equations can be quite challenging.
This degree is a strong choice for students seeking stimulating career opportunities and excellent salary potential in a high-demand engineering field.
The Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) is a five-year program that deals with the design, development, installation, operation, and maintenance of machinery, engines, and structures used in industrial, biomedical, instrumentation and transportation systems.
Once you've figured that out, decide on the degree you'd like to pursue. Sure, Mechanical Engineering can be challenging, but it's far from unattainable. You may encounter some intense math, especially in courses like stress analysis, machine design, theory of machines, and dynamics theory.
The most popular majors at Northeastern University include: Business, Management, Marketing, and Related Support Services; Engineering; Computer and Information Sciences and Support Services; Biological and Biomedical Sciences; Health Professions and Related Programs; Social Sciences; Communication, Journalism, and ...
Ultimately, you'll need to consider which factors are most important to you. If you value real-world work experience, Northeastern's co-op program might be a major selling point. However, if you prioritize engineering research and a more prestigious reputation, BU could be the better choice.
Introduction: My name is Tyson Zemlak, I am a excited, light, sparkling, super, open, fair, magnificent person who loves writing and wants to share my knowledge and understanding with you.
