Welcome, new and returning students! With fall 2019 beginning this week, the Department of Mechanical Engineering has some exciting metrics to share.
This year’s incoming class includes 121 undergraduate students and 28 transfer students. They are joining us from over 15 states and from across the world including countries such as Australia, Malaysia, Spain and the United Arab Emirates to name a few.
An additional 45 MS students and 38 PhD students will be also be joining the mechanical engineering team. Our graduate students are coming from across 20 different states and they have citizenship in 19 total countries. They represent 28 fields of study between the BS and MS degrees they have previously earned.
The start of fall 2019 also marks another year of new student participation in the Colorado Mesa University Partnership Program.
Check out what a few of our incoming first-year students are excited about below!
What are first-year ME students excited about?
Sasha Bailey, Kyra Anderson, Kate Stelwagon and Allison Palmer (pictured from left to right) are incoming first-year students in the Department of Mechanical Engineering.
Sasha, Kyra, Kate and Allison said they are excited about:
- Hands-on classes the department offers where we will get to build things
- Mechanical engineering professional development opportunities for each year of school and seeing how classwork connects to industry
- Going to a school that is high-performing but more focused on collaboration than competition
