At its core, Mechanical Engineering is about thermal systems and mechanical systems, and the design, manufacture, and operation of these systems.

Georgia Tech has a strong program in manufacturing. Mechanical Engineering’s contribution to this activity is major, including design, controls, precision manufacturing, rapid prototyping, polymer processing, and electronic packaging. Environmentally conscious design and “green engineering” is also addressed.
