Congratulations, Graduates!
We are so proud of all of our BS, MS, and PhD graduates in Mechanical Engineering! Check out our tribute page to celebrate our grads.
We miss meeting prospective students!
One of our favorite activities in ME is meeting prospective students and giving tours of the department and the campus. During this time of sheltering in place, we hope you’ll explore our website and reach out with any questions you might have about Mechanical at Mines! In the meantime, “pick up” our department flyer, and take a virtual tour of campus!
