Testimonials

“I’ve learned a lot from hands on experience, but in order to deepen my understanding of mechanical systems and expand my knowledge of design, I decided to earn my master’s in mechanical engineering from Colorado School of Mines”. – Online Student

“I am thrilled to join the Colorado School of Mines Mechanical Engineering online Graduate Program. I spent three wonderful years at Mines to earn my BS in ME and the completion of my Masters would be an awesome addition. I have been in a design engineering role in aerospace over the last year. For my continuing career, learning more in depth concepts about mechanical engineering design principles and how they can be applied in many different uses will facilitate my career growth. By combining past work.” –online student 
“I see an opportunity to dive deeper into experimental mechanics, pushing to further understand theories behind common challenges, make meaningful connections between methods for sensor selection and application, data collection and the implementation of test results to validate FEA models. The Mines Masters in ME will add to my tool kit and bolster opportunities to find innovative solutions and to help me step into a subject matter expert role.” – online student
