US Black Engineer Honors SIUE School of Engineering for Affordability
US Black Engineer has recognized the Southern Illinois University Edwardsville School of Engineering’s (SOE) Mechanical Engineering Program as one of the top 15 best affordable mechanical engineering programs in the country. View the entire list here.
“SIUE offers one of the largest mechanical engineering programs in the St. Louis region,” said SOE Dean Cem Karacal, PhD. “Our strong mechanical engineering program features excellent faculty and facilities, and the majority of our students complete either internships or co-ops before graduation. As a result, our graduates are praised by employers for their job preparedness and emerge as technical leaders in our region.”
US Black Engineer published data from Affordable Schools (AS), a higher education resource, which used statistics from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) to locate 4-year bachelor’s programs in mechanical engineering. AS staff considered the average undergraduate tuition from the 2018-19 academic year, programs accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), and student-faculty ratio.
“Finding the best affordable mechanical engineering degree programs is smart for students to switch gears into an in-demand STEM career with little debt,” AS staff said in the survey. “Getting an economical mechanical engineering degree can prepare innovators for making futuristic things like self-driving cars, drones, supersonic aircraft, and robots a reality.”
