(Bachelor of Science)
UW-Green Bay Engineering
One of the fastest-growing regions in the state and the Midwest for engineering jobs, Northeast Wisconsin will see tremendous growth in the need for and recruitment of new engineers. This region has the most open positions for engineers in the state and has seen an 18% increase in demand for engineers since 2010. Engineering as a career focuses on theoretical aspects of mathematical, scientific and engineering principals. New professionals with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from UW-Green Bay will be perfectly-timed and well-prepared to meet the swell in demand for engineers, leading to high-paying, rewarding careers in some of the region’s most sought after employers.
Mechanical Engineering
The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay is proud to be home of the only Mechanical Engineering program in Northeast Wisconsin. Part of the College of Science, Engineering and Technology (CSET) and offered through the Richard J. Resch School of Engineering (RSE), the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Mechanical Engineering is designed as a cutting-edge program that will offer students individualized attention from award-winning professors, a hands-on education with state-of the-art equipment, and opportunities for research and internships with some of the largest companies and employers in the region. The UW-Green Bay Mechanical Engineering program is housed in the newly constructed STEM Innovation Center building.
Mechanical engineering is a diverse and flexible engineering discipline. Mechanical engineers work in number of fields including design of machinery, controls, vibrations and acoustics, power generation, renewable energy, energy conservation, fluid flow and heat transfer applications, and air-conditioning. The program synthesizes math, science, engineering science, and engineering design. The program provides electives in several general areas, including thermal-sciences, mechanical design and manufacturing, robotics and automation, mechanical and environmental systems, and renewable energy. Students begin the practice of design in their freshman year and integrate it throughout their programs which culminate in a team-oriented capstone design project in the senior year. The program is geared to prepare students for the lifelong practice of mechanical engineering and for immediate entry to positions in industry or further studies in graduate schools.
Students will benefit from relationships with local technical colleges, and local industry to complete a B.S. in engineering in the Northeast Wisconsin area. Students may start earning their degree at UW-Green Bay or local technical colleges to give maximum flexibility in degree completion. In addition, the Northeast Wisconsin Educational Resource Alliance, NEW ERA, has established advisory boards linking leaders in regional industry and participating institutions to the major. Through these relationships students will have many opportunities for internships, co-op experiences, and employment after graduation.
