The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering offers both a mechanical engineering curriculum leading to a bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering, as well abachelor of science in aerospace engineering. The department also allows students to pursue an energy concentration, which culminates with a bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering and an energy certificate accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.
All Mechanical Engineering Students have a broad selection of departmental electives, which they can select according to interests and career goals.
Students who select the energy concentration will be required to include in their departmental electives three courses related to energy. In addition, those students take an energy lab in their senior year in lieu of one standard senior lab.

Beginning in the fall of 2016, students can begin working towards a degree in aerospace engineering. Rutgers is the only state university in New Jersey to offer an aerospace engineering degree. By expanding our certificate program, this new degree will train students in the areas of fluid mechanics, astrodynamics, propulsion, solid mechanics, risk and reliability, avionics, and so much more. From drones to missions to Mars, it’s an exciting time to pursue a career in aerospace.
