STUDENT PERSPECTIVE
"棉花糖直播's MSME program is outstanding; the rigorous, solid courses and groundbreaking graduate thesis research have greatly augmented my knowledge and skills as an aspiring thermal engineer.鈥
Deogratius Kisitu, Graduate Assistant
鈥淚 was able to take courses from renewable energy and manufacturing to composites and finite element analysis鈥攁 wide range of topics that I couldn鈥檛 necessarily find in other programs.鈥
Mary Beth Biddle, Mechanical Engineer, Lockheed Martin; Adjunct Professor, Thomas Jefferson University
"The MSME program gave me the opportunity to connect engineering with nature. From my thesis on biomimetic materials science that analyzed the naturally occurring strength of seashells, to my courses in heat transfer and renewable energy. These gave me the solid foundation of HVAC system design I use to this day in making buildings operate more sustainably with our environment."
Gregory Karambelas, Senior Associate / Mechanical Engineer, CannonDesign
