The
Field
Mechanical engineers (ME's) perform many tasks for many types of businesses. Want to build a robot? ME's do that. Want to build an all-terrain vehicle? ME's
do that. Want to build a race car? ME's do that. Want to improve the seat design for a kayak? ME's do that,
too.
Since ME's specialize in a wide range of areas, they are employed in a large number of industries: aerospace, utilities, construction, manufacturing, transportation, military and the government - to name a few.
ME's look at the many parts of an object - a car for instance - and see how all the pieces can function together better to be more efficient and save energy.
And because ME's work with energy, they have great potential to positively affect
the planet in coming years as they develop newer, cleaner means of producing energy.
The
Program
At MSOE,
you'll be immersed in your discipline. From your freshman year, you'll
begin learning the skills you need to flourish while at college and in your
future career. Our goal is more than education it's creating professionals
with ethics and vision. We also want to help you develop into a well-rounded
individual with a solid foundation in the humanities as a means to help you
think in innovative ways.

The
MSOE Advantage
MSOE offers an engaging environment, where you learn and form friendships with
professors and classmates. Growing as a person is stressed as well as growing
intellectually.
We are connected across campus, but also within the community. You have time to
visit the cultural sites that surround our campus, volunteer in the community, work part-time or take on an internship, or go out for some fun.
While learning, you'll be amazed by the quality of our labs and the equipment and software you use. In fact, it will likely be the same you use as you start your new career.
