The breadth of educational opportunities we offer our students helps us to achieve our goal of leading a Renaissance in mechanical engineering education. We are achieving this by emphasizing the needs of individual students, by allowing flexibility in our curriculum, and by preparing our students to contribute to new fields and to the global economy.  Through such approaches, we strive to serve the best interests of our current and future students, our alumni, and our partners in industry and academe.

This section serves to highlight several of the distinguishing characteristics of our department in terms of educational innovations and also acknowledges the unique culture that exists in the university at large which has catalyzed our tremendous success in both engineering research and engineering education.
