Mechanical engineers pursue careers in the automotive, aerospace, chemical, computer, communication, defense, energy, railroad and robotics industries, just to name a few. Mechanical engineers are also found in almost all manufacturing industries. Increasingly, mechanical engineers are needed in the environmental and bio-medical fields, and many of our graduates have pursued education in medicine and law. Without a doubt, virtually every product or service in modern life has probably been touched in some way by a mechanical engineer! Linked to this, our department is also offering a degree in manufacturing systems engineering. Manufacturing jobs have become a major staple in the state economy, and our department, joining forces by the College of Engineering and The University of Alabama, is doing what it can to supply a pipeline of workers. A new manufacturing facility has been built as part of an initiative oriented to develop a premier hub for multidisciplinary research and education in intelligent and advanced manufacturing systems and processes. This new B.S. program will provide graduates the skills and knowledge for successful careers in manufacturing systems and processes with practical applications ranging from manufacturing processes to cyber-physical systems. The Department of Mechanical Engineering is seeking outstanding applicants for multiple faculty positions. Additional details and a method to submit applications for each rank position can be found by visiting the UA hiring website . New Bachelor’s Degree in Manufacturing Systems Engineering The department of mechanical engineering launched its new bachelor’s degree program in manufacturing systems engineering at the start of the fall 2022 semester. The new program, which is also offered via distance learning, will provide students with skills and knowledge for successful careers in manufacturing systems and processes with practical applications ranging from manufacturing processes to cyber-physical systems.
