Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering

Be at the heart of the maker movement in a community of makers. Our makers have developed the 5-cent RFID tag, uncovered the process for inducing tissue and organ regeneration, and coined the phrase 3D printing. From design to manufacturing, we bring innovative ideas to the laboratory, the marketplace, and the world.

Our faculty and students coordinate research across seven key areas: mechanics, design, controls, energy, ocean, bioengineering, and nanotechnology.

A shared purpose drives the MIT community: to make a better world through education, research, and innovation. We are fun and quirky, elite but not elitist, inventive and artistic, obsessed with numbers, and welcoming to talented people regardless of where they come from.

Founded to accelerate the nation’s industrial revolution, MIT is profoundly American. With ingenuity and drive, our graduates have invented fundamental technologies, launched new industries, and created millions of American jobs. At the same time, and without the slightest sense of contradiction, MIT is profoundly global. Our community gains tremendous strength as a magnet for talent from around the world. Through teaching, research, and innovation, MIT’s exceptional community pursues its mission of service to the nation and the world.
