Mechanical, Industrial and Systems Engineering
The Department of Mechanical, Industrial and Systems Engineering offers B.S. degree programs in both Mechanical Engineering and Industrial and Systems Engineering, M.S. programs in Mechanical Engineering and Systems Engineering and Ph.D. programs in Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Engineering. In addition, 5 year combined B.S and M.S. degree programs are now offered in either Mechanical Engineering or Industrial and Systems Engineering. Many of our undergraduate students pursue 5 year dual degree International Engineering Program in which they earn a B.S. degree in engineering and a B.A. in either Chinese, French, German, or Spanish. In collaboration with URI's College of Business Administration, students in the Industrial and Systems Engineering can pursue the 5 year "4+1 program" in which they receive a B.S. in Industrial and Systems Engineering coupled with an MBA from the College of Business Administration. Our department also offers a minor in Nuclear Engineering. Our undergraduate Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Engineering programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org.
If you are a prospective student you will find information about our programs in the links to the left. You can also obtain information about our faculty, staff, facilities, courses, and activities. Feel free to contact me for more information or to arrange for a department tour.
