In the Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Systems Engineering (BSMSE) program at A-State campus Queretaro, students combine design, mechanics, machines, materials science, thermo-fluids, and control with state-of-the-art computational methods to analyze, innovate, design, implement and operate complex engineering systems which are economical, reliable, efficient, and sustainable. Emphasis is given to conventional, alternative, and renewable energy generation principles. This flexible program allows students to choose from a wide range of electives to create a unique experience. Students can choose from specialized focuses such as Energy, Structures & Materials, Computational Mechanics, or select a different set of electives.  

PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES 

The educational objectives for the Mechanical Systems Engineering Program are:

  1. Graduates have successfully advanced in mechanical engineering practice as evidenced by their achievements and contributions to their employers and the greater engineering community.
  2. Graduates have pursued graduate degrees or completed professional development activities in continuing to advance their knowledge base in the mechanical engineering or related professional fields.
  3. Graduates have made a broader contribution to local and national economic development by providing a mechanical engineering perspective to the challenges and opportunities of society.

The Mechanical Systems Engineering Program’s outcomes define the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviors that program graduates are expected to have by the time of graduation from the Program. Graduates of the Mechanical Systems Engineering Program will have: 

  1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics; 
  2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environ¬mental, and economic factors; 
  3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences; 
  4. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts; 
  5. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives; 
  6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions; and 
  7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
