The Department of Mechanical Engineering was established in 1977 in a renaming of the Department of Mechanical Engineering Science, and placed in the College of Engineering Sciences and Technology. In 1984 the department was retained in the newly renamed College of Engineering and Technology. Department chairs included Blaine W. Andersen (1978-1982), Joseph C. Free (1982-1992), and Geoffrey J. Germane (1992- ). In 2004 the department was retained in the newly renamed Ira A. Fulton College of Engineering and Technology.
