Welcome to the Department of Mechanical Engineering!
We are very enthusiastic as we enter the twelfth year of the Mechanical Engineering program. The Mechanical Engineering (BSME) program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Mechanical and Similarly Named Engineering Programs. Additionally, we will continue to mature our student chapter of ASME and enter student competitions as interest grows.
The Mechanical Engineering Program of Study offers focused tracks in Power and Energy, Manufacturing, Aeronautical Systems, Materials (Composites), and Mechatronics. We offer Mechanical Engineering courses to all cadet and day students as well as full-time evening students transferring from Trident Technical College and other schools. We have been ordering new lab equipment to supplement our classroom instruction and provide some “hands-on” learning. We will continue to procure equipment as our enrollment grows.
I invite you to learn more about us through the rest of the program website to see in greater detail the exciting activities associated with Citadel Engineering. If you are interested in attending The Citadel as a cadet or entering our evening undergraduate programs please contact us (opens in a new tab), go to the program website and/or visit the Admissions Department (opens in a new tab) to gather more information.
