The Virginia Tech Department of Mechanical Engineering is the broadest and most diverse of engineering
disciplines, encompassing a variety of engineering fields and a wide range of technologies and products,
which affect numerous aspects of human life and society. Mechanical engineers study, innovate, design, and
develop a variety of products extending from robots to automated cars, jet engines to satellites, medical
instruments to artificial organs, biomedical products to disease mitigating mechanisms, manufacturing tools to
modern materials, and smart transportation systems to advanced utility networks, among numerous others. In
the Virginia Tech mechanical department, our students and faculty utilize fundamental technical areas such as
acoustics, dynamics, vibrations, automatic controls, mechanics, computer-aided design, energy management,
fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, turbomachinery, tribology, robotics, and biomechanics, just to
name a few. Mechanical engineering is a challenging, rewarding, and highly respected profession. The
department supports this profession through its commitment to excellence in its teaching, research,
scholarship, and service missions. The department has a long tradition of excellence in education with an
effective hands-on minds-on approach to learning, a landmark of our College of Engineering.
