As you will soon discover, this is a very exciting time for the
Department of Mechanical
Engineering and Applied Mechanics (MEAM) at the
University of Michigan (U-M).
While the University
of Michigan has been a leader in mechanical
engineering for decades, we have undergone tremendous growth and
development the past five years. We have added new faculty, nearly
tripled our research funding, and strengthened our partnerships with
government and industry.
And these efforts are paying off. Our
Mechanical Engineering Graduate Programs were ranked #4 in the country
by U.S. News and
World Report in both 1996 and 1997. In fact, the
College of Engineering (CoE) as a whole is consistently ranked in the
top 10.
Most importantly, we are putting these improvements to work
for our graduate students. In the MEAM
graduate program, you will find a
unique blend of inspiring coursework, hands-on, probing research, and
meaningful application. And you will be directed in your studies by
world-renowned faculty members who are leaders in their fields--and
authors of many of the textbooks you will be using.
Through our well-balanced, interdisciplinary approach to
research and learning, we are preparing some of the best master's and
doctoral students in the country for excellent positions in industry and
higher education. In fact, many of our students get a head start on
their careers while pursuing their degrees through such job
opportunities as summer internships.
We invite you to take a look at our program.
We know you will like what you see.
Sincerely,
