Mechanical Engineering Curriculum
The Mechanical Engineering program at Penn State offers a modern curriculum with extensive opportunities that empower our students to improve the world and our daily lives. As a result, our graduates are highly regarded and actively recruited by employers.
The Mechanical Engineering curriculum features hands-on experiences that bring engineering principles to reality. From experiential laboratory components to a series of design courses, the program emphasizes innovation to prepare students for a limitless number of career paths, from industry to academia.
The design component culminates in an industry-sponsored senior design project, where students work in a team to solve a real-world issue.

Students in Penn State Scranton’s ME 340 Mechanical Engineering Design Methodology class designed and produced stencils for the Athletic Department to use in order to paint logos on the baseball field prior to each game. Here, one of the stencils is being produced by a plasma cutter at Zoom-Pony Fabrication of Lakeville, PA.
Others participating in the stencil design project include Mechanical Engineering students Kris Boswell, James Labelle, Ethan Marti, Eric Rine, Antonio Pugliese, Garrett Walsh, and Michael Waltman, as well as Adjunct Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Gary Bau.
In addition to the plasma cutting technology pictured here, the students also produced stencils using equipment in Penn State Scranton’s state-of-the-art 3D printing lab in the new Engineering Building.
Undergraduate Research
Students can conduct research alongside our world renowned faculty, who are investigating highly relevant research areas, such as energy, computations, biomedical devices, nanotechnology, and transportation systems.
