Mission Statement

The mission of the Mechanical Engineering Program is to further the missions and objectives of the University and the College of Engineering and Technology by providing an opportunity for a quality education in Mechanical Engineering to the people it serves, particularly those in northeast Ohio and western Pennsylvania, and professional service to the local and regional industry and to the public.  The Program is committed to meeting regional and state-wide priorities in higher education by providing its students with a broad, general education and an up-to-date technological curriculum in a four-year undergraduate program, and an application-oriented evening graduate program which offers a Master of Science in Engineering degree to practicing engineers and recent engineering graduates. The Program also strives to enhance quality research and scholarly activities to be integrated with teaching and to meet the needs of the region by providing the area schools, businesses, industries, and government agencies with technical expertise.
