This option is available within the Mechanical Engineering major at the following location:

• Corvallis

The Energy and Fluid Systems Option offers Mechanical Engineering majors an opportunity to concentrate their coursework in the design and analysis of engineered systems that rely on thermodynamics, heat transport, and fluid mechanics to operate. This transcript-visible degree option educates students on the theoretical, computational, and experimental methods of thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics to design, analyze, and evaluate thermal-fluid systems. This option addresses industry demand for mechanical engineers with the ability to design devices, processes, and systems used to harvest, convert, distribute, and store energy and/or fluids. 

Option Code: A002

Upon successful completion of the program, students will meet the following learning outcomes:

• Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
• Apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
