The mission of the MAE Department is to provide an excellent undergraduate and graduate education in mechanical and aerospace engineering that will prepare graduates to meet society’s rapidly evolving needs and aspirations.
The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) offers baccalaureate, master's, and doctoral degrees in mechanical engineering and a baccalaureate in Aerospace Engineering. At the baccalaureate degree level, a student can study a sequence of courses to provide an option in specialized areas such as aerospace engineering, automotive engineering, energy and environmental engineering, biomedical engineering, and materials engineering and manufacturing. At the master's degree level, a student can obtain an MS degree with concentrations in additive manufacturing, internal combustion engine, and industrial management option. Our Ph.D. program provides students with in-depth scientific training in advanced aeroelasticity and aerodynamics, advanced mechanics, materials and manufacturing, clean and renewable energy technologies, combustion and heat transfer, and human musculoskeletal biomechanics.
The MAE department emphasizes hands-on, experiential learning as an integral part of the curriculum, and our small student-to-faculty ratio ensures that every student receives personalized guidance, mentorship, and encouragement throughout their academic journey.
