Academic Programs
Undergraduate Programs
The MMAE undergraduate program offers three areas of specialization, all of which are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET):
These areas, while distinct in their concept, are not entirely separate. The core exposure to mathematics and the basic sciences provide the foundation for later studies of engineering sciences relevant to the students' major fields of study. These areas include: energy, structures, and motion for the ME major; materials, structure-property relations, materials processing, service behavior, and design for the MSE major; and structures and materials, propulsion, and aerodynamics for the AE major.
Regardless of intended major, all MMAE students have a common curriculum for the first two semesters. These first two semesters give students valuable insight into the field, empowers them to make informed choices about their areas of interest, and gives them the flexibility to add double majors or minors.
Graduate Programs
The MMAE department also offers several flexible graduate programs in mechanical and aerospace engineering, within five areas of study: computer-aided design and manufacturing, dynamics and control, fluid dynamics, solids and structures, and thermal sciences. We also offer programs in materials science and an interdisciplinary program in manufacturing engineering.
Master's Degrees
Doctoral Degrees
Our doctoral degree programs offer the opportunity to work with world-renown faculty in one of two areas:
Short Courses
For students who wish to take advanced and highly focused courses, we offer two-credit-hour "short" courses to current IIT students and to local industry professionals interested in a particular topic. These courses often meet on weekends and are continually updated based on demand and availability. Search for upcoming short courses here.
