About the course

Micro- and nanoscale engineering is at the heart of technology advances in information (e.g. semiconductor processing), health care e.g. ?lab-on-chip?), and energy (e.g. solar cells), to name a few examples. Courses in the Micro/Nanoscale Engineering emphasis area provide students with a strong foundation in the fundamental physics and manufacturing of micro- and nanoscale devices, for future careers in research and industry. The University of Utah Nanofab is a worldclass cleanroom facility with state-of-the-art tools for lithography, deposition, packaging, microfluidics, and device characterization. Students in micro/nanoscale engineering lab courses have the opportunity to design, build, and test their own microscale devices while working in the University of Utah Nanofab facility.

　　Mechanical engineers play a significant role in designing and manufacturing all of the products and systems essential to everyday modern life: home appliances, bikes, recreational equipment, automobiles, satellites, wheelchairs, airplanes, robots, industrial equipment, and environmental control systems. The field of mechanical engineering (ME) is concerned with the mechanical, thermal, and fluid-flow aspects of all of these systems, including computer and feedback control of complex systems. As a mechanical engineering student at the University of Utah, you will learn the professional, technical, critical thinking, and communication skills you need to be successful and make meaningful contributions to this exciting field.

　　Career Opportunities

　　Mechanical engineers are prepared to pursue work in a variety of fields using the skills gained from research, interning, or coursework. U alumni have found work as engineers in a number of areas such as product design, aerospace, manufacturing, robotics, or sustainable energy - as well, as jobs in quality control and software development. With additional education at the graduate level, students can become professors, researchers, or administrators. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
