Admissions
Mechanical engineers create technologies that improve the quality of our lives by transforming abstract theoretical ideas into reality. The proliferation of modern technologies opens new avenues for mechanical engineers in challenging fields such as advanced manufacturing, materials science, energy storage devices, nanoelectrochemistry, quantum computing, propulsion systems and optical diagnostics, renewable energy, computational fluid dynamics, autonomous ground vehicles and marine surface vessels, vehicle electrification, soft robotics, safety-augmented control designs, structural health monitoring, acoustics vibration and noise control.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual wage for mechanical engineers was $99,510 in May 2023. Additionally, the Winter 2024 Salary Survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) lists mechanical engineering among the top 10 most sought-after degrees at the bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral levels.
Wayne State University is located in the heart of Detroit, best known as the Motor City and the hub of American automobile manufacturing. Our Mechanical Engineering program is continually evolving to bridge the gap between industry expectations and the skill sets of our graduates.
Wayne State is a beautiful campus in the middle of the city with tons to do and go see. The engineering program is strong as well, which helped me choose. The diversity and community is also great to be a part of at Wayne State University.
