About Mechanical
Engineering at DWC
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. The Bachelor of Science degree
in Mechanical Engineering will prepare you
for immediate entry into a host of varied
industries with engineering application or
consideration for continued education at the
graduate level.
As with the Aeronautical
Engineering program, Mechanical Engineering
students take part in the intensive design
sequence including concurrent engineering
design.. a core part of the engineering
foundations at Daniel Webster College.
Engineering students have
the opportunity to mentor High School
students each year to design, build, and
compete in the FIRST competition with a
custom team-built robot.

Mechanical
Engineering is the broadest of
the engineering disciplines,
allowing for flexibility in
career choices or focuses beyond
graduation.
-
You’ll have
nearly unlimited access to
engineering labs for design,
prototyping, and manufacture via
a key card that is exclusive to
engineering students.
-
The unique
design sequence that engineering
students pursue will give you
experience in systems
integration which incorporates
things such as vision systems,
sensors, controls and the
software that ties them
together.
- The
unique real-life opportunities
afforded to DWC engineering
students both inside and outside
the classroom along with the
personal attention by our
faculty and instructors will
give you the advantage you need.

One Common Core
Students can earn a Bachelor in Science
degree in either Aeronautical Engineering or
Mechanical Engineering. The engineering core
of: design, theory, and practice is common
to both options. It develops skills basic to
all engineering fields utilizing computer
programming, simulation, drafting, and
analysis providing students with practice on
engineering projects using current
technology. Some technology that students
will become familiar with through their
experience includes: SolidWorks,
MSC.visualNastran 4D, Cosmos, Visual Basic,
C++, Maple, MathCAD, MATLAB, and
Pro/ENGINEER. Program development and
curriculums for both programs have been
guided by Accreditation Board for
Engineering and Technology (ABET) standards
and the division is working hard for
accreditation when DWC becomes eligible upon
awarding its first Bachelors Degree in
Engineering.
Science Meets Service:
Daniel Webster College and Alvirne High
School FIRST Program Partnership
Since 1995, DWC competes
annually in a National Robotics competition
entitled FIRST (For Inspiration and
Recognition of Science and Technology). The
FIRST Robotics Competition is an exciting,
multinational competition that teams
professionals and young people to solve an
engineering design problem in an intense and
competitive way. For FIRST, DWC students
have an alliance with Alvirne High School in
Hudson, New Hampshire. DWC engineering
students serve as the design consultants for
the robot, a role usually filled by
professional engineers. This cooperative
partnership allows Daniel Webster College
students the opportunity to work with and
actually teach the concepts they have been
learning in their engineering programs to
the students of Alvirne High School and
develop a community service experience that
lasts a lifetime.
