Welcome to the Grove City College Mechanical Engineering website. We hope that you will become better acquainted with our people, programs, and facilities as you navigate this site.

Prospective students may be wondering what Mechanical Engineering is all about. This engineering discipline often involves the analysis and design of devices and systems that convert energy from one form to another and that perform useful work. It is an engineering specialty that includes such diverse topics as materials science, thermodynamics, solid and fluid mechanics, heat transfer, manufacturing processes, system dynamics, control theory, vibration analysis, and project management.

Mechanical engineers enjoy employment in a wide variety of areas including research, design, manufacturing, production, sales, and management. Many of our students go on to obtain advanced degrees. Our “After Graduation” link leads you to more information on employers that have hired our students for full-time employment or summer internships. You will also find a list of graduate schools our students have attended.

What are some of the things that make us unique? We are one of the few Christian colleges in the country that offers an ABET accredited1 B.S.M.E. degree. We have fantastic students, a great faculty focused on undergraduate education, and first-rate facilities. Our year-long senior design program is one of the best around. Select the “Projects” link to review recent capstone design projects.

If you become part of our department, get involved in our student technical societies – ASME, ASHRAE, SWE, or SAE (follow the “Organizations” link for details). Take part in national student competitions such as the Society of Automotive Engineers Mini-Baja competition or the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Human Powered Vehicle Challenge.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know us better. Don’t hesitate to contact us or visit the Mechanical Engineering department if you would like additional information.

Sincerely,

Blair T. Allison
