The Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering (MME) department and associate Industrial and Professional Advisory Committee (IPAC) initiated an Engineering Career Seminar series to bring insight to students about the work and technologies for engineers, particularly MME engineers in local industries and to develop relations between students and faculty with engineers in industry.  Several engineers from Boeing Defense and Space, St Louis, visited campus on November 4 for a panel presentation ...

The MME department's graduate students met with Dr. Celik, Graduate program director, at the MUC to chat.  Current graduate students were able to share their experiences.  Also in attendance was Dr. Terry Yan.  Best wishes for our MME graduate students and all students to our program!

ABET just informed the MME department that the Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering program has received ABET accreditation.  All previous graduates from the MRE program will be retroactively recognized as graduating from the newly accredited program. 

Also, ABET has re-accredited the Mechanical Engineering program. This is a recognition of the quality of our programs, and all faculty members, students, and previous graduates are to be congratulated for this great news!

Students in the B.S. in Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering program are now eligible to enter the accelerated M.S. in Mechanical Engineering program. This program provides MRE B.S. students the same benefit of accelerated B.S. and M.S. program that ME B.S. students have already enjoyed. To apply, a student needs to have a GPA of at least 3.25, and no more than 32 credit hours remaining in the B.S. program of study. A student admitted in this program may simultaneously take B.S. and M.S. course...

Leanne Montgomery is a non-traditional student who will earn a bachelor’s in mechanical engineering during SIUE’s commencement exercises being held May 6-9. She will impart her wisdom as the student speaker for the SOE ceremony at 3 p.m. Sunday, May 9.

“Don’t be afraid to fail.” Montgomery's advice may sound clicheé and surely, it’s easier said than done, but it may be just the life lesson needed to keep someone motivated to turn their dreams into r...
