Referred to as engineering fundamentals, these core courses provide the basic understanding and tools necessary to function as mechanical engineer. ME graduates currently lead large national or international engineering firms, have started their own companies, or have used their preliminary training in mechanical engineering as springboard to careers in other areas such as business or medicine. The Department celebrated its centennial year in Mechanical Engineering is one of oldest, broadest, and bestestablished of the engineering disciplines. This includes courses devoted to statics, strength of materials, heat transfer, fluids, thermodynamics, dynamics, and traditional metalworking processes.

The ME Department at the University of Washington reflects the oldyetnew character of the discipline itself. On the other hand, of our upperlevel undergraduate and graduate courses are devoted to engineering analyses and concepts that did not exist even twenty years Our faculty and staff look forward to the challenges of the next years, and remain committed to educating mechanical engineers capable of lifelong learning and whose vision, expertise, and talents will benefit society throughout the 21st century..
