You’ll Stand Out<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our commitment to research, combined with a low faculty-to-student ratio, allows us to mentor our students<\/strong> effectively<\/strong> and inspire them to engage in research, to publish often, to enter poster competitions, and to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have the largest metal casting foundry in any academic institution in Wisconsin<\/strong>, and our labs are open to undergraduate and graduate researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We<\/strong> leverage our relationships with industry and our proximity to southeast Wisconsin’s manufacturing community<\/strong> to push the boundaries of scientific innovation and technological advancement to find real and actionable solutions that are cleaner, faster, greener and safer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll benefit from these relationships with well-paid internships and co-ops<\/strong>, and other hands-on experiences like Senior Design, which improves your skills and leads to above-average job offers before graduation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll be well prepared for careers in in diverse fields<\/strong> that rely on improved materials development. These include aerospace, biomedicine, electronics, energy, and telecommunications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our students are in demand<\/strong> by companies that include Aerojet Rocketdyne, GE Aviation, General Motors, Tesla, Kohler, Signicast, and Waupaca Foundry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
