A Topical Analysis of Mechanical Engineering Curricula

From: Journal of Engineering Education | Date: July 1, 2006| Author: | Copyright information

ABSTRACT

This study has dissected the current curriculum in mechanical engineering into a list of required topics. The list indicates what material is currently considered to be the essential body of knowledge for graduating mechanical engineering students. It also provides a measure of the extent to which curricula differ from institution to institution. There is similarity in core material required among the institutions which we considered, but each one adds distinct requirements which give it an individual flavor or emphasis. The list reveals some of the differences among degree programs. ...
