Bachelor of Engineering (BE): Major Mechanical Engineering The Mechanical Engineering Program extends over a four-year period offered exclusively on a daytime on-campus basis. The program is offered in eleven terms, eight terms are 16-week fall/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 (Term IX), students are required to participate in a practical training program with a local, regional, or international organization. The entire program is equivalent to five academic years, but is completed in four calendar years with three summer terms. The undergraduate program also provides the students with options to pursue minors in the following: • Applied Energy offered by FEA • Biomedical Engineering offered by ECE • Chemical Engineering offered by ME • Engineering Management offered by the EM Program Other minors can be sought in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and the Suliman S. Olayan School of Business. * Part time Undergraduate Catalogue 2012–13 Department of Mechanical Engineering 413 Program Mission The mechanical engineering faculty has agreed that the undergraduate program mission is as follows: The undergraduate program in Mechanical Engineering seeks to empower students to pursue successful careers and to create a learning environment in which they can develop their creative and critical thinking, their ability to grow into lifelong learners in the light of ever-increasing challenges of modern technology, and their commitment to the ethical and professional responsibilities required in their calling at the global level while focusing on the needs of Lebanon and the region. Program Educational Objectives The program is based on the following education objectives that were approved by the mechanical engineering faculty members on May 27, 2010.
