BA Mechanical Engineering

From your first year as a mechanical engineering major at Bucknell, you'll design and build real devices that confront challenges facing society.

You might work with your professors to study next-generation solar energy, test self-driving vehicle technology, or build an exhibit for the nearby Lewisburg Children's Museum.

Learn to use state-of-the-art research facilities, including a wind tunnel, automotive and renewable energy labs, and makerspaces. Then put what you've learned to work in a senior design project where you'll design, build and test a device for a real corporate client, like GE, Corning or Universal Parks, and make connections that often lead to internship and job opportunities.

Along the way, you'll build in-demand skills that prepare you for careers in fields including manufacturing, aerospace, defense, technology, construction and more.

At Bucknell's nationally ranked College of Engineering, we are training a new generation of engineers to go beyond problem-solving to influence, impact and create change.

Questions are encouraged here. We call our students engineers from the day they set foot on campus, and empower them to design and innovate under the close mentorship of our world-class faculty. Our students learn by doing from their very first class, and quickly transition to authentic industry projects with real-world corporate, government and nonprofit partners.

The pace of technological change gets faster every day. Unleash your curiosity and see where it takes you.
