The design and production of machines re - quires a broad-based education. The Mech an - ical Engineering degree program has been structured to provide the necessary back- ground in chemistry, physics, and advanced math to achieve success in the advanced engi- neering subjects. In addition, students are taught the basics of Mechanical Engineering while learning about the latest developments and experimental techniques.

The Mechanical Engineering program objectives are to produce mechanical engineers who:

• • have the knowledge and skills to adapt to

the changing engineering environment in industry

• • are able to pursue and succeed in graduate

studies

• • have the educational breadth and the intel-

lectual discipline required to enter profes- sional careers outside engineering, such as business and law

• • have an ability to work in multi-disciplinary

teams

• • engage in a lifetime of learning

The Mech anical Engineering B.S. degree at UCR is accredited by the Engineering Accred - itation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012;
