Mechanical Engineering, B.S.

At Saint Louis University’s Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology, we have developed an innovative mechanical engineering curriculum that provides hands-on experiences complementing theoretical knowledge. Our students work with fluids, thermal, material, structural testing, mechatronics and robotics equipment, which provides an excellent opportunity to integrate theory with real-world applications.

Most mechanical engineering programs provide research and project opportunities, but our first-year students actively participate: turning wrenches, running experiments, analyzing and publishing their work. They don’t have to wait until their junior year to get near the equipment, and they don’t have to wait until their senior year to be in positions of leadership.

With easy access to a sophisticated computer-aided design laboratory, a structures laboratory and more, our graduates gain invaluable experience that helps launch their career and set them on a trajectory to shape our world and beyond.

All admission policies and requirements for domestic students apply to international students along with the following:

• Demonstrate English Language Proficiency
• Proof of financial support must include:
  • A letter of financial support from the person(s) or sponsoring agency funding the time at Saint Louis University
  • A letter from the sponsor's bank verifying that the funds are available and will be so for the duration of study at the University
• Academic records, in English translation, of students who have undertaken postsecondary studies outside the United States must include the courses taken and/or lectures attended, practical laboratory work, the maximum and minimum grades attainable, the grades earned or the results of all end-of-term examinations, and any honors or degrees received. WES and ECE transcripts are accepted.

You need to complete 122 credit hours to successfully obtain this degree. Please check detail of study units at https://catalog.slu.edu/colleges-schools/engineering-aviation-technology/engineering/mechanical-engineering-bs/

The undergraduate program is designed to meet the following specific objectives in order to fulfill the departmental and institutional missions.

• To practice the principles of engineering in mechanical or allied organizations
• To pursue further learning in mechanical engineering or in allied disciplines
• To function as effective engineers with professional knowledge, skills and values
