Mathematics and related subjects play important dual roles in our culture. On the one hand, mathematics is a study in its own
right; on the other hand, it is an indispensable tool for expressing and understanding ideas in the sciences, engineering, and an
increasing number of other fields. As a consequence, employment opportunities for mathematicians have been expanding in
recent years. The courses offered by the department are designed to develop skills in, and an appreciation and understanding
of, both roles.
Because there are so many different areas in which a trained mathematician can find employment or continue studies, the
department offers a large number of electives within the mathematics major. By selecting appropriate courses, students have
considerable flexibility to accommodate their individual interests. Students should consult with a department adviser for
specific recommendations as to which electives are suited to their career paths.
Electives in applied mathematics prepare students to assume positions in technical industries or government employment, or to
continue advanced studies in the applied area.
Electives in pre-college teaching in mathematics provide students with the necessary background for obtaining a California
Secondary Teaching Credential in mathematics. In order to complete the credential requirements, a fifth year of education
courses, classroom observation, and practice teaching is needed. At the present time, there is an increasing demand for well-trained
people in this area.
Electives in pure mathematics prepare students for the pursuit of graduate studies leading to advanced degrees and
employment at the college or university level, or research in industries.
Electives in statistics and probability provide a foundation for students planning to work as statisticians for industry or
government agencies. They also can enhance employment opportunities in the bioscience and health-related fields. Statistics
courses (in addition to MATH 75 [or 75A and B], 76, and 77) are essential for the first two Actuarial Examinations offered by
the Society of Actuaries.

Degrees and Programs Offered
BS in Mechanical Engineering, B.S.
MS in Engineering - Mechanical Engineering Option, M.S.
Mechanical engineering is the use of basic science in the design and manufacture of components and systems. This requires
the application of physical and mechanical principles in the development of machines, energy conversion systems, materials,
and equipment for measurement and control. Knowledge of mathematics, physics, and chemistry lies at the core of this field.
Application of this knowledge uses engineering technology -- a disciplined way of thinking, modeling, and testing that enables
development of new systems despite incomplete information and uncertainty.
The undergraduate and graduate programs in mechanical engineering provide basics and advanced studies in design, advanced
materials, alternative energy and sustainable systems, engineering mechanics, mechatronics and controls and thermo-fluids.
All areas include statics, dynamics, materials, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and experimental methods. Application areas
in design include mechanics of materials, applied mechanics, structural and manufacturing aspects of producing equipment,
and vibrations. Application areas in thermal and fluid mechanics focus on energy conversion and include combustion, heat
engines, refrigeration, and fluid flow.
Students should consult with their advisers to select the proper courses that emphasize their areas of interest.
Attainment of Engineer-in-Training (EIT) and Professional Engineering (PE) licensure are strongly recommended as first steps
in professional lifelong learning.
