School of Mechanical, Aerospace, Chemical and Materials Engineering

The School of Mechanical, Aerospace, Chemical and Materials Engineering (MACME) gathers together a broad range of disciplines and world-class faculty members who are engaged in a cutting-edge research, all of which contributes to a unique educational experience for all of our students.

In MACME, we are leveraging the synergy of engineering and science to develop new knowledge and technologies, and create innovative solutions to society’s most pressing problems in energy, human health, public safety, exploration, environmental infrastructure and sustainability. The applications of our research span an immense range of scales, from the atomic structure of new materials to models of global ocean circulation.

Our undergraduate programs position students for roles as professional engineers or advanced studies beyond the baccalaureate degree. At the graduate level, we provide rigorous, cross-disciplinary training and a rich research environment, immersing our students in diverse research topics that have broad interactions among disciplines, both within and beyond the school.

The unique intellectual fusion within MACME creates new opportunities for students and will lead to a richer experience both in the classroom and the laboratory. As the individual academic programs continue to advance our mission, each will also maintain distinctive approaches to teaching, research and ties to industry that strengthen and continue to shape the trajectory of the school. 

I invite you to learn more, and believe that you will quickly develop the same excitement we all share for our curricula, facilities, faculty and research programs. You will discover something unique here, and I welcome you to join us!
