Division of Engineering
Daniel Webster College offers BS degrees in Aeronautical
Engineering and in
Mechanical Engineering.
Aeronautical engineering focuses on the design,
development, manufacture, and implementation of
aircraft. Mechanical engineering is one of
the broadest of the engineering disciplines. It is
concerned with the design, development, manufacture, and
use of mechanical devices & systems, from the
small–scale applications of nanotechnology to the
large-scale world of aircraft and power plants.
Unique Features of DWC Engineering Program
-
Support in mathematics and the sciences is available in
the
Mathematics/Sciences Support
Center
-
Students will be well-grounded in theoretical bases of
engineering
-
Small class size will allow for regular presentations
beginning with first semester
-
Students will get extensive machine shop experience
beginning with first semester
-
Students will have multiple open-ended design
experiences
-
Students will receive multiple concurrent engineering
experiences, taking a product from design and analysis
to simulation to manufacturing to assembly and testing
-
Students will have systems integration experience;
sensors, controls, software
-
Junior and Senior Aeronautical Engineering students take
the following three-semester sequence of courses:
Aerodynamics, Flight Dynamics I (Performance) and Flight
Dynamics II (Stability and Control). In these courses
students develop test plans and perform in-flight
experiments using an aircraft equipped with a Calspan
Miniature Flight Data Recording System (MFDRS).
Students majoring in mechanical engineering have the
opportunity to take these three courses as their three
technical electives, if desired.
