Michigan Technological Univeristy, while located far
from the hustle and bustle of the city, is one of the premier engineering
colleges in the United States. Michigan Tech offers a Bachelor of Science
in Engineering (BSE) degree via distance learning through the Department
of Mechanical Engineering - Engineering Mechanics within the College
of Engineering.
The curriculum for the BSE program incorporates design and a strong
computer experience. The program is designed to provide a sound foundation
in mathematics, basic sciences, engineering science and design, communications,
humanities, and social sciences, with an emphasis in the concentration
area (mechanical design or manufacturing) in the senior year.
The mechanical design concentration provides an emphasis in applying
finite elements to mechanical design and structural analysis, along
with a major design project.
The manufacturing concentration provides courses that develop a systems
appraoch to problem solving, the ability to apply knowledge of production
systems to manufacturing, and the ablity to integrate manufacturing
into business concepts.
The BSE degree program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation
Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology
(ABET).
