Master of Science in Engineering

WE SHAPE LEADERS WHO TURN BOLD IDEAS INTO REALITY

The University of Michigan College of Engineering’s Mechanical Engineering graduate program pioneers new knowledge and discovery that impacts society. Top employers recognize that a candidate with a U-M mechanical engineering graduate degree is a tremendous asset to their company. Our academic rigor and the evidence-based approach to design are hallmarks of our curriculum and program. This recognition leads to valuable internship opportunities, which in turn, leads to great jobs. 

Data from senior-year surveys indicate that 75-90 percent of our students have had an internship and that more than half participated in a student team. These numbers translate to success after graduation as well, with close to 90 percent of our alumni employed following graduation.

A total of 23 U-M mechanical engineering graduate students have been awarded National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowships over the past three years, the largest number of awardees for any mechanical engineering department.
