Innovative Teaching and Research Programs

Teaching Programs: Some of the programs are specific for our main mechanical and materials science disciplines. However, several of our teaching programs have been built in collaborations with other units of campus, namely the division of Natural Science and Mathematics and the Daniels School of Business, allowing our students to take advantage of the truly interdisciplinary educational nature of the University. One of the unique features of our teaching is that our classes are small, with the student to faculty ratio of about 12:1, allowing very thorough individual faculty attention. We offer quality teaching both on campus and on various industrial sites around Denver, such as our highly successful teaching program with Lockheed Martin.

Research Programs: In our research, we regularly involve undergraduate and graduate students, exposing you to various modern engineering problems. You will be educated in our classrooms, machine shop fabrication facilities, and our research laboratories, obtaining substantial hands-on experience. This combination of educational efforts will allow you to develop unique skills, making you greatly competitive on the global job market.
