ETID OFFERS Small Department Strong Industry Relationships One-on-one relationship with your instructors Undergraduate & Graduate Specifically geared for careers in industry Strong Industry Relationships Industry speakers Industry-sponsored projects Extensive Intern opportunities Direct contact with industry through the available student organizations So in a big school of roughly 44,000 students, one thing that is nice is it’s a smaller department, this with a smaller student to faculty ration, one on one relationships with your professors and a first name basis. Another strength of our department is our distinguished faculty, our program and faculty also have close ties with industry, which sponsor many of our labs, research project, senior design projects and much more.

MMET Graduates are applications-oriented and valued by industry Curriculum is based on rigorous theory, industrial applications, and laboratory experiences Focus on experiential learning and opportunities to apply theory in industry-grade laboratories Close integration with industrial partners MMET is for doers, people who like to get things done. MMET graduates are people who turn designs into products, who find better ways to make cell phones, cars, airplanes, automate an industrial process, or improve the design of products. We are not trying to make you a machinist or a welder. We want you to have this experience so that you can design better products and processes.
