BS/MS Mechanical and Energy Engineering Combined

Are you a creative, inquisitive, analytical and detail-oriented person? Fascinated by how machines work? Interested in baseline and renewable energy? Mechanical and Energy Engineering prepares students for a green future and the ever-growing fields of energy and sustainability. With a hands-on approach and taught by research focus and experience-driven faculty, undergrads who choose to pursue a degree with Mechanical and Energy will combine fundamentals of mechanical engineering with a specialization on subjects related to energy production, management, and distribution.In our Bachelor's and Master's programs, you'll study the fundamentals and applications of engineering and develop life-long learning skills in a research/project-oriented environment.With small class sizes, you can work closely with distinguished faculty members to solve complex problems faced by businesses and consumers. Our students prepare for engineering careers that solve societal problems, advance technology and improve the quality of life for people everywhere.

UNT's Mechanical and Energy Engineering program is similar to a traditional Mechanical Engineering curriculum, however, UNT's curriculum focuses on energy related courses that target natural energy applications and materials.

Within their first year, students take basic fundamental courses in Math and Science. These courses will lay the foundation for the advanced level classes of the students’ choice. Students will focus on the following areas of study:

• Thermal science, fluid flow, and energy
• Mechanics and materials
• Dynamics, design, and controls
• Environmental impact of energy production and use
• Entrepreneurship

In their final year, seniors will participate in a Capstone Senior Design project that allows them to solve real-world issues, making meaningful contributions to an existing local business. The mechanical and energy engineering program also teaches students to be responsible industry leaders by giving them a global understanding of the environmental, ethical and societal impacts of the technologies they help develop.

The Grad Track option is an accelerated program for ME, undergraduate students, to earn their BS/MS in 5 years. The student can take a maximum of nine (9) credit hours of graduate courses while the student is completing the BS degree. These credits will be counted towards both the BS and MS degrees.

Obtaining your Master of Science at UNT can be your doorway to success, both now and in the future, as an academic researcher and professional engineer.

The department's graduate programs build on the theme of Mechanical and Energy Engineering and Engineering Technology through course offerings, opportunities to engage in work experiences in faculty laboratories through directed study, theses, and dissertations.
