To accommodate this breadth of interest, the Department offers two programs of study: Mechanical Engineering and Aerospace Engineering. Either program may be completed individually or, through careful planning and selection of technical electives, the requirements of both the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering programs may be satisfied simultaneously. (See the Director of Undergraduate Studies for further information). Departmental students may also participate in the SEAS Engineering Physics Program or other SEAS certificate programs such as Engineering and Management Systems, Engineering Biology, Applied and Computational Mathematics, Robotics and Intelligent Systems, Materials Science in Engineering, Sustainable Energy, and the Program in Applications of Computing.\nBoth the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering programs draw on courses in the underlying fundamental sciences and mathematics during the first year and introductory engineering science courses during the second year.  Students are shown the creative application of knowledge for the solution of technical problems. Various aspects of engineering design, the process of devising a system to meet a need, are introduced to the student through the laboratories starting in the second year and continue through the upper class years. All students take a two semester design sequence and additional engineeri","cbCaieIgndtDUfIZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieIgndtDUfIZ","docx",519435,55,"English","# Overview\n# Requirements\n# Introductory Courses\n# Upperclass Courses\n# Departmental Courses\n## General Information\n## Recommended Sample Curricula\n## Course Descriptions\n## Standard Sophomore Curriculum\n## Mechanical Engineering\n## Aerospace Engineering\n## Engineering Physics Program\n## Materials Science and Engineering Program\n## Interdepartmental Programs\n## Departmental Prizes\n# Independent Work and Published Papers\n# Post-Graduation Plans\n# Faculty Research Interests\n# Who to See for More Information\n## Upperclass Advisors\n## Student Departmental Committee and Other Student Committees\n# Interdepartmental Programs\n## Study Abroad and Foreign Exchange\n# Appendix I: Requirement Sheets","[{\"question\":\"How does the handbook support different career objectives?\",\"answer\":\"It explains that students may pursue industry engineering roles, graduate studies, or preparation for careers in business, law, or medicine.
