Faculty  

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of North Texas was created in the fall of 2020 when the Department of Engineering Technology merged with the Department of Mechanical and Energy Engineering. The Department of Mechanical Engineering is committed to academic excellence in undergraduate and graduate education and research in all areas pertinent to the discipline of mechanical engineering and in particular to construction engineering, energy and engineering management. The goals of the department and its faculty are: (1) to provide high quality and innovative educational programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels; (2) to foster lifelong learning by promoting professionalism and ethical standards and helping students develop leadership qualities; (3) to pursue excellence in scholarly research in areas of mechanical engineering; and (4) to collaborate with engineers in industry, national laboratories, and government agencies in finding the solutions to national and global problems.
