[QUOTE="TBItoy, post: 471555, member: 1384"] [b]Re:[/b] It's a **** ton of theory and projects and takes up an extraordinary amount of time to do well (at least at TTU which from what I understand is a particularly rigorous undergrad program compared to a lot of other schools) basically a BSME teaches you a little about a LOT of subjects. My concentration was in mechanism design/motion. Other concentrations include anything from microstructure analysis, HVAC design, fluid dynamics, heat transfer, etc ME is an extremely broad field, and the coursework you pursue steers you toward a concentration. The upper division courses I took were mostly project classes in which we formed groups or teams and went through the entire design process from initial problem to delivered product. 3 projects I can remember right off hand were: Design/build a tractor frontend loader with self leveling, stabilization, and digital weight readout and warnings (we built a fully functional 1/3 scale) Designed/built/delivered a lightweight collapsible chair/safety restraint for a handicapped child so his mother could safely carry him in a regular shopping cart and still have room for groceries (she had been having to keep him in a special stroller and push the grocery cart separate) Redesigned and rebuilt several pieces of the the basketball teams mechanized training equipment to make it throw balls more realistic and capable of multiple types of throws.
