What Is Mechanical Engineering?

Technically, mechanical engineering is the application of the principles and problem-solving techniques of engineering from design to manufacturing to the marketplace for any object. Mechanical engineers analyze their work using the principles of motion, energy, and force — ensuring that designs function safely, efficiently, and reliably, all at a competitive cost.

General Questions

1

What is the fee for submitting an application?

Our application is free and should be completed online.

2

What if I made a mistake in my application?

If you have made a mistake in your application in regards to the university attended, degree received, legal name, email address, phone number, mailing and/or permanent addresses, email MyGrad@mtu.edu to fix the issue.

3

The recommended deadline has passed, can I still apply?

Yes, all departments make decisions on a rolling basis with all deadlines being recommended. The departments will review all applications that are completed and provided to them.

4

Are funding opportunities available for graduate school?

Applicants are automatically considered for internal funding through teaching/research assistantships. Applicants can also apply for external funding opportunities, or inquire with faculty who have who have recently been awarded research funding.

5

If I e-mail the Graduate School or a faculty member my resume and test scores without an application, can you tell me if my application would be accepted?

It is not possible to informally review your materials to determine if you would be accepted to the program of your choice. Applications are reviewed using a holistic approach. Your entire application is reviewed, along with those in the applicant pool, to determine which students will succeed at Michigan Tech and contribute to the research needs of your program. Some programs have admissions guidance to aid in evaluating your own materials. Students are highly encouraged to apply as our application is free.
