Prospective Students

Rich Curriculum

The undergraduate program emphasizes a hands-on, practice-based approach to provide a broad engineering education in mechanical engineering. Our graduates are well prepared for professional careers, advanced studies in mechanical engineering, or graduate studies in professional fields such as business or law. The program offers strategic partnerships between industries, government agencies and teams of Rowan faculty and students to solve contemporary engineering problems and conduct cutting-edge research. Rowan also offers a Master of Science program and a Doctor of Philosophy program.
