Thus, at this University among faculty, students, and administration, there is and must be an excitement and an expectation about the very nature and future of knowledge that underwrites the uniqueness of BYU.
—Spencer W. Kimball
Mechanical Engineering is a dynamic and exciting field with broad boundaries that are continually being pushed and expanded. Students and faculty at Brigham Young University work together in the extension of these boundaries through research. Research activities are also one of the most valuable mentored learning experiences at both graduate and undergraduate levels. In addition to the important educational aspects associated with research, it offers exciting opportunities to make technological contributions to society.
