Nearly 20 percent of the nearly 3 million engineers in the United States are mechanical engineers. Hit the ground running with one of the broadest skill sets in engineering. Mechanical engineers use their breadth of knowledge versatility creativity and team working skills to build new products and systems. All those cool things you read about like establishing colonies on the moon and Mars 3 D printing of biomedical implants or building the next generation aircraft and automobile engines. They re all happening right here at Herff. Build medical devices. Create renewable energy systems—wind and solar. Design and test new aerospace engines and propulsion systems. Get your feet wet testing turbines in the Mississippi River. The possibilities are endless. M.S. with thesis 30 semester hours including 6 hours of thesis.
