Mission Statement
The mission of the United States Naval Academy is to
develop midshipmen morally, mentally and physically and to imbue them with
the highest ideals of duty, honor, and loyalty in order to provide graduates
who are dedicated to a career of naval service and have potential for future
development in mind and character to assume the highest responsibilities of
command, citizenship and government. The overall curriculum supports the
moral and mental preparation of midshipmen and provides them with the skills
and knowledge they will meet to be successful as junior officers in the
United States Navy and Marine Corps.
The Mechanical Engineering Department strives to maintain faculty,
curriculum, and supporting facilities that facilitate excellence in
undergraduate teaching. The Mechanical Engineering program supports the
Academy's mission by providing midshipmen with a broad education in
mechanical engineering subjects and a knowledge of fundamental engineering
principles that enhance their ability to understand and design naval systems
and to supervise the operation of these systems. The program instills in its
graduates a desire to maintain high ethical and professional standards and
prepares them for continued success in naval service, professional training
programs, graduate studies, and/or engineering careers.
The Mechanical Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering
Accreditation Commission of ABET,
