U.S. News and World Report has consistently ranked MAE in the top 20 in mechanical and aerospace engineering. The Jacobs School was ranked 11th overall and 6th among public universities in 2005.
Our undergraduate programs offer traditional ABET accredited engineering programs leading to the B.S. degree in mechanical, aerospace and chemical engineering. MAE also offers traditional non-accredited engineering programs leading to the B.S. degree in engineering science and environmental engineering. The B.S. programs require a minimum of 196 units.
All MAE programs of study have strong components in laboratory experimentation, numerical computation and engineering design. Design is emphasized throughout the curricula by open-ended homework problems, by laboratory and computer courses which include student-initiated projects, and finally by senior design project courses which often involve teams of students working to solve engineering design problems brought in from industry.
