Graduate Program Mission

The College of Engineering at the University is committed to excellence in undergraduate and graduate education. The College of Engineering was founded in 1914 and is the second oldest college at the University. The college embraces the departments of Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. The current research focus of the College includes: gas turbine technology, filtration technology, nanotechnology, lightweight automobile research, aero-propulsion technology, catalysis, industrial controls, computational mechanics, smart materials, composites and civil structures, biochemical / bioprocess engineering, environmental bioengineering, transportation engineering and a variety of modeling and simulation issues of engineering problems. During the academic year 1989-90, the College adopted interdisciplinary procedures for the doctoral program offered by the College. This program is truly interdisciplinary in nature.

The mission of graduate education in the College of Engineering is to:

Train engineers and scientists to solve state of the art technological issues.
Train student to develop theory, methodology and necessary experimental skills to investigate emerging issues in engineering and science that effect state and national interests.
Provide excellence in presenting their findings via theses, doctoral dissertations and research papers.
Where appropriate train students to be future educators.
Where appropriate train students in industrial research.
Where appropriate train students to work on interdisciplinary teams.

As the state positions itself in the forefront of the technology, appropriately trained scientists and engineers are needed in all fields. Our graduate programs provide training that equips our students with the maturity and ability to assume leadership roles in technological fields related to the field of engineering. In addition, our programs attract a variety of students from several industries and NASA Glenn Research Center in Northeast Ohio. The College is a partner of the Ohio Aerospace Institute (OAI).
