Welcome

Mechanical engineering is one of the oldest and broadest engineering professions. Mechanical engineers design, build, and test mechanical systems and devices – everything from microchips and medical devices to rockets and powerplants.

At Lehigh, the Department of Mechanical Engineering & Mechanics is home to more than 30 faculty members, 120 graduate students, and 350 undergraduate students. We are a vibrant community filled with faculty members who excel in research and teaching and work with motivated students to solve societal grand challenges.

We offer a bachelor’s degree (BS) in mechanical engineering (ME) with technical minors in aerospace and energy, or in mechanics of materials (for non-ME students). Mechanical engineering students can also complete minors and enroll in interdisciplinary programs from across the university. Our graduate programs include an on-campus and online master’s degree (MS) and doctor of philosophy (PhD) in mechanical engineering. We also host the interdisciplinary master’s program in Aerospace and Space Systems Engineering (AESE).

I invite you to browse our website to learn more about our department, faculty, and research and contact us with questions.
