Mechanical Engineering

Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering

 

Lincoln Memorial University’s Mechanical Engineering program emphasizes hands-on learning through lab-based coursework, system design, and applied engineering practice. Students build skills across core areas such as dynamics, thermofluids, and mechanical component design while gaining experience that connects theory to real-world applications. The program is structured to support the path toward professional licensure, including preparation for the FE exam and guidance toward the PE license, with plans aligned to ABET accreditation standards.

Why choose 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.
