Mechanical Engineering
Important Program Update
As the Indiana University and Purdue University partnership in IUPUI ended on June 30, 2024, it is necessary to redefine Butler’s partnership with Purdue Engineering programs. During this time of transition, no new students will be accepted to the Engineering Dual Degree Program.
All students currently enrolled in the Engineering Dual Degree Program, including those starting the program in fall 2023, will be able to complete their degrees on schedule and without interruption. Please direct any questions to Dr. Amber Russell, Program Director, at acrusse3@butler.edu.
One of the fundamental—and most diverse—engineering disciplines, mechanical engineering equips men and women to make a difference on the smallest micro-scale level, as well as in large, complex systems. Each day, mechanical engineering principles are used in the conception, design, development, and manufacture of almost every product or process known to man.
In addition to courses required for this discipline, listed below, all students must satisfy the EDDP Common Core curriculum.
