MECHANICAL ENGINEERING Because mechanical engineering is perhaps the broadest of all engineering disciplines, the program at OSU-Tulsa provides not only excellent grounding in all engineering fundamentals, but also allows some flexibility in selecting technical electives to suit the student’s interests. Mechanical engineering students extend their study of the engineering sciences and consider applications of fundamental principles and analysis tools to the solution of real technological problems of society. Some design courses involve students in the solution of authentic, current and significant engineering problems provided by industrial firms. Others may help smaller firms that need assistance with the development of new products. Students in Tulsa study and research at OSU-Tulsa’s state-of-the-art Helmerich Research Center.
