Explore Graduate School with MIT’s Department of Mechanical Engineering

Futures in Mechanical Engineering provides information to current undergraduate students regarding the benefits of a graduate education in mechanical engineering at MIT and broadly and works to demystify the process of selecting and applying to graduate programs. Through virtual information sessions and targeted emails Futures supports prospective students and works to ensure MIT MechE continues to attract and foster the careers of talented individuals.

Each year we share information about our graduate program and advice on how to apply via virtual event(s) and timely emails. Prospective undergraduate students are invited to participate in program activities through university networks and collaboration with Pi Tau Sigma chapters at relevant universities. Students may also reach out directly to hear of upcoming opportunities by joining our email list below!

While we will share information about MIT’s mechanical engineering graduate program in particular, our goal is to encourage more people from all backgrounds to pursue advanced degrees in mechanical engineering across the board.
