Approximately 6,000 undergraduate students are enrolled[10] and 600-800 Bachelor of Science degrees are awarded annually.[11]
Each year, approximately 800 students are enrolled in advanced degree programs and nearly 200 MS and PhD degrees are awarded.[12] Graduate programs are offered in biosystems engineering, chemical engineering, civil engineering, computer science, computational science, electrical engineering, environmental engineering, materials science, mechanical engineering, and engineering mechanics.
The MSU college of engineering has been accredited with many developments in automotive industry. Recently the college of engineering was in the spotlight for their developments with the new "wave disc generator".[13]
The professional or student-run groups and organizations available in the college are listed below.
The Summer Research Opportunities Program, formerly known as the Undergraduate Summer Research Program,[14] is a program run throughthe College of Engineering that offers summer research opportunities for high-achieving undergraduate students in an effort to encourage them to consider pursuing graduate degrees and to provide an early opportunity to become involved in research.[15]
