Engineering the Future, Together

Mechanical and aerospace engineering has always been about solving important problems and turning ideas into reality. Today, that mission is more important than ever. Rapid advances in artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing, energy, autonomy, space exploration, and other emerging technologies are transforming both our profession and the world around us.

At Missouri S&T, our goal is not simply to prepare students for their first job. We want to prepare them to become engineers and leaders who can adapt, innovate, and make an impact throughout their careers. Our students learn from dedicated faculty, engage in hands-on engineering, participate in research and design, and work on problems that connect fundamental knowledge with real-world applications.

The same spirit drives our research. Our faculty and students are advancing knowledge across mechanical and aerospace engineering while working with industry, government, alumni, and academic partners to address challenges with national and global significance. We want Missouri S&T’s MAE department to be a place where ambitious ideas are developed, tested, and translated into meaningful impacts.

Most importantly, we are a community. Whether you are a prospective student, a current student, an alumnus, an industry partner, or a colleague, I invite you to learn more about our department, connect with our faculty and students, and be part of what we are building together.

Welcome to Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Missouri S&T.

Respectfully,

Jonghyun Park, Ph.D.

Interim Chair and Professor
