what do ppsc mechanical engineering students study?

As a PPSC Mechanical Engineering student, you will: 

  • Develop skills in solving real-world engineering problems.
  • Learn to apply advanced mathematics, physics, and chemistry.
  • Master engineering techniques like SolidWorks and thermodynamics.
  • Explore mechanics, statics, and dynamics.
  • Enhance your data analysis and problem-solving abilities.
  • Build a strong foundation for transferring to a four-year engineering degree.

You will work closely with an Advisor to identify your goals and plan your degree to meet your needs and those of the school where you plan to transfer. Because of the varied requirements of different university engineering programs, it is strongly recommended that students plan a program of study with an engineering advisor prior to or during the first term of study.
