The Union ME program promotes collaboration, inquiry and experimentation, with opportunities for summer research fellowships and symposium participation.

Mechanical engineering students lead and join active clubs, including ASME, Engineers for a Sustainable World, SAE Aero and Baja Teams, NSBE, Rocket Club, SWE, SAME, SHPE, and Tau Beta Pi and Pi Tau Sigma honor societies.

The Mechanical Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.
