Launch into your career with a mechanical engineering degree from Mizzou, where you can gain hands-on experience with competition teams such as Mizzou AeroTigers, Mizzou Space Program, Mizzou Racing and more. By learning through doing, students engage in engineering as soon as they step onto campus.
The Student Experience“I always try to be in a more diverse, broad background so I can understand different angles and perspectives. I felt like I could get that at Mizzou.”
ABET Accreditation
The University of Missouri program, B.S. Mechanical Engineering, is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET (www.abet.org), under the General Criteria and Program Criteria for Mechanical and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.
Mizzou Engineering is growing its faculty, bringing in experts from a variety of emerging areas to conduct leading-edge research. From sustainable energy to computer vision, our researchers are poised to create a better world, through engineering.

Mizzou Engineers are partnering with Arizona State University, Brewer Science and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), to increase the efficiency of materials development by using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to model and test new materials. Mizzou's research is supported by a $1.87 million grant, sponsored by Arizona State University.
Mizzou Engineer Jian Lin and doctoral student Morgan Miller are developing the next generation of sensors to improve horse welfare.
Mizzou Engineer Yingchao Yang and collaborators are developing a new biochar-based foam to reduce the use of harmful chemicals in controlling fires.
