Departments and Units

Aerospace Engineering

Aerospace engineering is the branch of engineering concerned with the design, development, testing and production of aircraft and related systems that fly within the Earth’s atmosphere (aeronautics) and of spacecraft, missiles, rocket propulsion systems and other equipment operating beyond the Earth’s atmosphere (astronautics).

The Mississippi State University Department of Aerospace Engineering (ASE) offers a Bachelor of Science degree for undergraduates, as well as programs for both master’s and Ph.D. qualifications.

Industrial and Systems Engineering

Industrial and systems engineering involves the design, improvement and installation of integrated systems of people, materials, information, equipment and energy. The task of an industrial and systems engineer is to improve the performance and safety of processes by identifying and eliminating wastes of time, money, materials and energy.

Mississippi State University’s Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering is committed to helping students gain the foundation they need to build careers in this complex field. 

B.S. Industrial Engineering
M.S. Industrial Engineering
Ph.D. Industrial & Systems Engineering
 

Mechanical Engineering

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Mississippi State University is one of our university’s largest departments. Mechanical engineering is the application of science and mathematics to the design, development and operation of mechanical and energy systems. In addition to their strong foundation in the sciences, mechanical engineers must develop speaking and writing skills and spend much of their time creating complex design processes.
