Robotics for a Reason

Our mechanical engineering students and faculty are working on research focusing on controls, robotics, and automation.

This year, we launched a rocket that will collect data to aid future Earth or Mars orbits. We've also helped develop robots that detect land mines and a military ship capable of autonomous navigation.

 

Hands-On Learning

In the Department of Mechanical Engineering, we want you to have the academic and practical experiences you need for a career in engineering. That's why we focus on hands-on experiences and projects.

The details of dynamics, vibrations, design, and controls all come to life in our labs, so you can develop your engineering intuition.
