Welcome to ME
The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers a wealth of opportunities in virtually all industries such as: aerospace, automotive, biomedical, energy (wind/solar/petrochemical), heating & cooling systems, machinery, materials, microelectronics, robotics, structures, and others.
The UTSA M.E. program prepares students for work in these industries through a concentration of focused classes in the areas of design and manufacturing, mechanics and materials, and thermal and fluid systems. These classes are supported through a sequence of labs with experiments such as: a Rankine-cycle power generation, rotordynamics, thermal heat exchangers, diesel engine efficiency, aerodynamics using a wind tunnel, and others.
Excellent computer facilities are available with state-of-the-art software products including: Ansys, Labview, Matlab, and Solidworks. A 192-core cluster supercomputer is available for computing as well as three student labs equipped with Windows-based PCs. In addition, a recently-developed Advanced Visualization Lab is now available to students. The UTSA M.E. program is an ABET accredited program, last receiving accreditation in 2010. A number of professional organization student chapters are available at UTSA including ASME, ASHRAE, SAE, SWE, MAES and others... More.
