Bachelor of Science in Engineering

The Department of Engineering provides the opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge in a challenging field that offers professional careers in a wide range of disciplines. Our ABET-accredited programs are taught by faculty members who have practiced as engineers and use their real-world experience to better teach our students. These programs emphasize the fundamentals of engineering design, focusing on theoretical foundations, as well as practical applications that are reinforced by hands-on laboratory experiences and real-world projects. Students focus on civil, computer, electrical, manufacturing, mechatronics or mechanical engineering and participate in internships and capstone design projects. Students must pass the Fundamentals of Engineering Examination, which is the first step toward becoming a Licensed Professional Engineer.

Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering • Mechanical engineers design, develop, manufacture and test machines, engines, tools and mechanical systems, such as internal combustion engines, steam and gas turbines, machine tools, motor vehicles, aircraft, robots and HVAC equipment. Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest engineering disciplines. It requires a solid understanding of core concepts, including mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics and energy. Our graduates work for defense contractors, manufacturing firms, automobile designers and suppliers, and private engineering firms.

Degree Concentrations • Civil Engineering: Civil engineers design and supervise the construction of physical and naturally built environments, including works such as bridges, roads, canals, dams, tunnels, buildings and other large facilities. Civil engineering is one of the oldest disciplines and can be categorized into several sub-disciplines: construction, environmental, transportation, structural, geotechnical and water resource engineering. Our graduates work for government, state and local municipal agencies or private engineering firms. • Computer Engineering: Computer engineering integrates skills and techniques from both computer science and electrical engineering. Computer engineers design and develop hardware and software for digital devices like phones, vehicles, medical technologies, consumer electronics, robotics, network and communication systems and much more. Because computing technologies are a cornerstone in virtually every industry, computing graduates may go on to work in varied industries such as education, healthcare, finance, insurance, manufacturing, telecommunications, government, retail and more • Electrical Engineering: Electrical engineers design, develop, test and supervise the manufacturing of electronic and electrical equipment, such as electric motors, lighting, wiring in buildings, radars, computers, consumer electronics, aircraft and telephones. Currently, many electrical engineers also work in areas of computer design and programming. Electrical engineering can be categorized into several sub-disciplines: power, control, signal processing, telecommunications, electronic and electromagnetic engineering. Our graduates work for local and regional power companies, defense contractors, electronic design firms or manufacturing-related companies. • Manufacturing Engineering: Manufacturing engineers design the processes and equipment used to generate products. Their work may include the design of procedures or work sequences, and the design of tooling, dies or molds. These engineers determine the best ways to use machinery to maximize efficiency and control costs. Manufacturing processes often involve automation and the use of robotics and electronic control systems. Our graduates work for companies that manufacture a wide array of products associated with the automotive, electronics and consumer product markets. • Mechatronics Engineering: Mechatronics engineering is a multidisciplinary form of engineering focusing on robotics and automation. Mechatronics engineering graduates design and manage automation equipment, particularly in modern manufacturing environments. Students will study topics from mechanical, electrical and manufacturing engineering, such as kinematics and dynamics of machines, machine vision and industrial controls (PLCs).


DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING www.utm.edu/engineering Faculty with Real-World Experience In addition to their advanced academic degrees, our faculty bring real-world professional engineering experience to the classroom in each of the majors that we offer.

Professional Student Chapters •American Society of Civil Engineers •Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers •Society of Automotive Engineers.

Laboratory Facilities •Asphalt, concrete, electrical, environmental, materials measurement, materials testing, products realization, soils, surveying, and vibrations and automation

State-of-the-Art Computer Labs with Cutting-Edge Software UT Martin has two dedicated computer labs for engineering students, with a wide range of software including MatLab and Simulink, AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor, Autodesk Revit and PSpice.

Internships and Cooperative Education Program All engineering students are required to complete a onesemester or summer internship, and some students choose to complete a one-year co-op. These opportunities often lead to full-time employment.

Career Opportunities Our graduates find professional engineering positions locally, regionally and nationally in a wide range of engineering disciplines.

Graduate School Opportunities Approximately 20% of our graduates attend nationally ranked graduate schools following graduation from an engineering program at UTM.
