It blends the classroom with hands-on experiences with industry partners, making it like no STEM program in the state of Michigan or the nation.

This unique approach consistently earns a spot among the nation’s top-ranked programs by U.S. News & World Report.

The academic portion of the experiential program features small class sizes in the heart of America’s industrial core.

The courses you would take include machine design, dynamics, solid mechanics, engineering materials, CAD/CAM, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, vibrations and controls, systems analysis and associated laboratories.

Many of the courses include a strong laboratory experience, which both enhances students’ learning and hones their abilities to apply technology effectively in the workplace. The program features large and well-equipped laboratories in experimental mechanics, CAD/CAM, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, engines, vibrations, instrumentation, fuel cells, crash safety, renewable energy and automotive emissions.

The College of Engineering is home to the Departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. Programs offered through the college focus on a variety of subject areas including embedded computer systems, signal process, control systems, robotics, manufacturing and human processes, safety, bioengineering, automotive design, alternative energy and much more.

Kettering University is one of eight schools nationwide participating in the AutoDrive Challenge. This newly established, three-year autonomous vehicle competition tasks students to develop and demonstrate a full autonomous driving passenger vehicle.
