Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME)
Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME)
The University of New Mexico-Los Alamos (UNM-LA) and the UNM-School of Engineering are collaborating to expand an existing two-year pre-engineering program to a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) program on the UNM-LA campus. The program was developed to meet identified workforce needs at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) but will also provide local students the same opportunity.
Mechanical engineers design and develop many of the products, systems, and technologies that move everyday life. Mechanical engineers apply mathematics, physics, chemistry, and other sciences, together with computers, instrumentation, and other tools to create a wide range of hardware, software, and systems.
The Mechanical Engineering undergraduate program at The University of New Mexico-Los Alamos provides graduates with the necessary skills to compete in this rapidly changing discipline. In addition, the BSME provides a solid, scientific foundation for other degrees such as the MBA, MD, DDS, etc. UNM Mechanical Engineering students have the opportunity to work on energy and transportation projects ranging from race cars to high altitude balloon launches and from building efficiency to alternative energy systems.
The program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.
