Mechanical Engineering is a dynamically evolving discipline, especially here at Boston University. The fundamental aspects of a Mechanical Engineering education, including hands-on experience designing and building solutions to challenging problems, remain unchanged. But the areas of application — and hence career opportunities — are diverse and ever-expanding. Whether you’re preparing for professional careers or advanced studies, you’ll gain academic depth, interdisciplinary insight, applied experience, and access to our diverse local, regional, and national network. We offer a range of outstanding degree programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
