The mechanical engineering program extends over a four-year period offered exclusively on a daytime on-campus basis. The program is offered in 11 terms, eight terms are 16-week fall and spring semesters given over four years and three terms are eight-week summer terms taken during the first three years of the program. In the summer term of the third year, students are required to participate in a practical training program with a local, regional, or international organization. The entire program duration is equivalent to five academic years without the summer terms, but is completed in four calendar years.
