Programs & Majors

Mechanical Engineering Major

  • Engineering in the Orthopedic Capital
  • On-Campus

In the ABET-accredited mechanical engineering program at Grace College, you’ll dive into the mechanics of moving parts — from large construction equipment to nano-scale robots.

Our mechanical engineering major is founded on the truth that God is the original Engineer, and one way we know Him is by studying His wonderfully designed Creation. We also understand that He’s engineered us to serve other image-bearers with our unique gifts and knowledge.

As a mechanical engineering major, you’ll take introductory math and science classes for a broad understanding of calculus and physics, which will serve you well in your major-specific courses. For your mechanical engineering classes, you’ll engage with areas such as engineering materials, thermodynamics, design, and manufacturing.

We know that our engineering students are some of the most hands-on learners on campus, which is why you can expect project-based classes with plenty of interactive activities.

If you’d like to take your engineering skills to the competition level, consider competing in Grace’s team for Society of Automotive Engineers Baja, an inter-collegiate design competition where students design, build, and race off-road vehicles.

We understand that our students blossom with personal guidance, so you’ll have access to mentoring as a mechanical engineering major. Whether it’s connecting with a professor outside of the classroom or hearing from industry professionals, you’ll receive guidance from those who have worked in the field.

You’ll also complete an engineering internship in a field such as medical technology, automotives, or manufacturing. Warsaw is known as the Orthopedic Capital of the World®, and you’ll benefit greatly from our ties with local orthopedic organizations.

When you graduate with a mechanical engineering degree, you’ll be equipped to work in research, design, development, or any role that requires a rigorous engineer with a mind for service.

Voices of Grace

“The professors at Grace do an excellent job of making the work applicable. We did a ton of engineering projects where you were solving real-life engineering programs that didn’t have answers in the back of the book. As a new engineer, that is a critical skill to have – being able to solve problems that don’t have answers readily available.”
