The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) at the University of Miami offers a variety of academic programs, awarding bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees in mechanical engineering, a bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering, and a master’s degree in sports engineering. These programs are designed to equip students with a strong foundation in engineering principles.
MAE is home to impactful research in a variety of areas, including clean energy, mechanics of materials, aerodynamics, combustion and propulsion, and space science and engineering. Our faculty lead interdisciplinary projects that address real-world challenges and advance technology.
With a strong emphasis on hands-on learning, personalized mentorship, and collaborative innovation, the department fosters an environment where students and faculty work closely together. Students benefit from participation in nationally recognized organizations and competitions, such as AIAA’s Rocket Canes, focused on high-powered rocketry, and ASME’s Lunabotics team, competing in NASA’s robotic mining challenges.
From classroom to laboratory and beyond, the MAE department is dedicated to developing well-rounded engineers and advancing innovative solutions for a better world.
