About the Program

The UND Department of Mechanical Engineering offers Bachelors, Masters, and Ph.D. degrees.

Accreditation

UND's Mechanical Engineering B.S. program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org. The next scheduled ABET accreditation visit is in November 2021.

Mission Statement

The Mechanical Engineering Department will prepare students at all levels to effectively apply modern engineering principles to the evolving needs of industry and society. Areas of interest include:

  • Manufacturing and materials
  • Mechanical design
  • Thermal sciences
  • Aerospace applications

The Department supports an accessible, collaborative, multidisciplinary research and learning environment that stimulates students to reach their highest potential through hands-on education, leadership opportunities, and lifelong learning. The department places emphasis on online education, diversity, and educational opportunity for military personnel.

Program Educational Objectives

The Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of North Dakota is committed to graduating mechanical engineers who will:

  1. Successfully practice mechanical engineering in the areas of mechanical design, thermal systems, and manufacturing and materials in industry and government settings
  2. Practice mechanical engineering across a broad range of job functions from detailed design and laboratory experimentation to engineering management
  3. Practice engineering alone or as part of a larger team, support diversity, demonstrate the appropriate teamwork, leadership and communication skills for each professional situation
  4. Apply the highest standards of professional and ethical conduct, understanding the broader implications of their engineering efforts on local, national, and global society
  5. Maintain relevant knowledge of contemporary engineering and professional issues and an understanding of modern engineering tools through regular participation in professional development activities

ABET Student Outcomes

Upon graduation, our students will have:

  1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
  2. An ability to 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
  3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
  4. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
  5. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
  6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
  7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
