Why Mechanical Engineering at LMU

Lincoln Memorial University offers a mechanical engineering program built around direct access to faculty, small class sizes, and meaningful hands‑on experience. Students learn in an environment where instructors lead both the lectures and the labs, creating consistent guidance as you move from theory to application. You’ll work in LMU’s engineering spaces, including prototyping and 3D printing resources, and you’ll see real mechanical systems in action through field visits and industry exposure. The curriculum supports preparation for the FE exam and the path toward professional licensure, and students receive individualized advising and help securing internships and co‑ops. LMU’s size allows you to be part of a close engineering community where faculty know you and support your progress from your first semester to your first engineering role.

Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering

A mechanical engineer is an engineer that focuses on design, analysis, and manufacturing of mechanical systems. Being a mechanical engineer allows you to work in construction, automotive, heating and air conditioning, robotics, the energy sector, and with combustion engines. Mechanical engineering touches almost every aspect of modern life.The work of mechanical engineers varies by industry and function. They design and develop power-producing machines such as internal combustion engines, steam and gas turbines, and jet and rocket engines. They also design power-using machines such as refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment, robots, machine tools, material handling systems, and industrial production equipment. 

What You'll Study 

The curriculum covers core areas of mechanical engineering, including Dynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer, Mechanical Component Design, Thermodynamics, and Thermofluid Component Design.
