Mechanical, Industrial and Systems Engineering
In 2009, the Department of Mechanical, Industrial and Systems Engineering was formed through a merger of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics and the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering. The merged department structure provides opportunities for research collaboration, curricula enhancements and improved administrative efficiencies. Note that separate degree programs in Mechanical Engineering and Industrial and Systems Engineering are maintained. Recent curricula revisions have coordinated the B.S. programs such that student can more easily switch between the two programs. In addition, 5 year combined B.S and M.S. degree programs are now offered in either discipline.
The department offers programs leading to the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees. Accredited programs include all B.S. programs including four programs in International Engineering (German, French, Spanish and Chinese). If you are a prospective student you will find information about all of these programs in the links to the left. There you can also obtain information about our people, facilities, courses, and activities. Current students will also find links containing useful information on curricula, course prerequisites, and course web pages.
