Mechanical Engineering + Electrical Engineering B.S.

The Bachelor of Science in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering degree prepares students to apply principles from science, mathematics and computing to the design, analysis and operation of multidisciplinary systems found in manufacturing, automation, transportation, energy convers and biomedical sectors.

This integrated degree is based on the mechanics, design, vibrations and control curricular content from mechanical engineering and the analog and digital electronics content from electrical engineering.

Job Outlook

Most industries develop products that integrate mechanical, electronic and software components, including factory automation, transportation, biomedical and healthcare, and renewable energies. This major prepares students to be effective team members in these sectors.

The State of Ohio’s Top Jobs List indicates a combined growth rate of 112 open positions per year for electrical and mechanical engineers with a bachelor’s degree. The starting salary reported for each is higher than $80,000. Mechanical and Electrical Engineers respectively are the second and third highest-demanded engineering professionals according to state projections.
