Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering

The Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) program at the American University of Sharjah (AUS) is an internationally accredited degree designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills for dynamic careers in the field. The program integrates theoretical learning with practical, hands-on experience, focusing on critical thinking and preparing students for leadership roles in engineering, research, and development. The curriculum emphasizes three core areas: thermofluids and energy systems; mechanical product design and manufacturing; and dynamics, control, and mechatronics. This ensures graduates gain both breadth and depth in their education, preparing them to excel in the workplace. The program also encourages participation in student chapters of professional engineering societies like ASME, SAE, and AIAA, and involves students in a year-long senior design project, often with international competition participation. Graduates are expected to demonstrate strong abilities in problem-solving, design, effective communication, ethical reasoning, teamwork, experimental analysis, and continuous learning, enabling them to adapt to evolving technological landscapes and contribute to sustainable development.
