Program Outline
Degree Overview:
Learn core engineering concepts that go into the development of clean energy systems and technologies with a minor in Mechanical and Energy Engineering. Mechanical and Energy Engineering prepares students for a green future and the ever-growing fields of energy and sustainability. With a hands-on approach and taught by research focus and experience-driven faculty, undergrads who minor in Mechanical and Energy Engineering will learn the fundamentals of mechanical engineering with subjects related to energy production, management, and distribution. The North Texas Ambient Energy Monitoring Station is the only weather station in the nation operated by an energy engineering department. This provides you with an exclusive opportunity to use weather data in your research. Located five miles north of the main campus and serviced by a free shuttle, Discovery Park houses the College of Engineering and the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The 300-acre research facility pulls together academic laboratories, offices and classrooms to maximize the potential for creativity, collaboration and technology innovation. The Department of Mechanical Engineering enjoys forming partnerships with local industry leaders and companies, who work with the department on student projects and research initiatives. Partnerships with industry leaders allow students to apply what they learn to solve real issues. The Minor in Mechanical Engineering Technology with the MEFT certificate will enhance your opportunities to advance toward a rewarding career in the manufacturing sector.
