All students undertake a culminating, year-long senior capstone experience where they collaborate in teams to tackle real-world problems defined, funded, and mentored by industry and government partners. Additionally, students have the opportunity to pursue minors in entrepreneurship, robotics, or nuclear engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"cl-wrapper cl-card-wrapper\"><a class=\"cl-card  \" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/mcise\/academics\/\" title=\"\"><div class=\"cl-card-container media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/mcise\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2170\/academics.jpg\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"\"><\/div><div class=\"cl-card-container text\"><div class=\"cl-card-text\"><h2>Academics<\/h2><p>We offer two accredited bachelor&#8217;s degrees, an accelerated B.S. to M.S., minor options, and masters and doctoral programs.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"cl-card-container button\">see programs<\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"cl-wrapper cl-card-wrapper\"><a class=\"cl-card  \" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/mcise\/people\/\" title=\"\"><div class=\"cl-card-container media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/mcise\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2170\/people-card.jpg\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"\"><\/div><div class=\"cl-card-container text\"><div class=\"cl-card-text\"><h2>People<\/h2><p>Our faculty are global experts in their fields, and are committed to helping you succeed through teaching and scholarship.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"cl-card-container button\">meet faculty and staff<\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"cl-wrapper cl-card-wrapper\"><a class=\"cl-card  \" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/mcise\/research\/\" title=\"\"><div class=\"cl-card-container media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/mcise\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2170\/research.jpg\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"\"><\/div><div class=\"cl-card-container text\"><div class=\"cl-card-text\"><h2>Research<\/h2><p>Focus areas include sustainable energy, robotics, heat transfer, solid mechanics, voting systems, and much more. <\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"cl-card-container button\">explore topics<\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recent News<\/h2>\n\n\n<ul class=\"display-posts-listing\"><li class=\"listing-item\"><a class=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/engineering\/engineering-professor-receives-2026-american-society-for-engineering-educations-ralph-coats-roe-award\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/mcise\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2170\/Jouaneh_AwardPhoto-2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/mcise\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2170\/Jouaneh_AwardPhoto-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/mcise\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2170\/Jouaneh_AwardPhoto-2-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"title\" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/engineering\/engineering-professor-receives-2026-american-society-for-engineering-educations-ralph-coats-roe-award\/\">Engineering professor receives 2026 American Society for Engineering Education\u2019s Ralph Coats Roe Award<\/a> <span class=\"excerpt-dash\">-<\/span> <span class=\"excerpt\">University of Rhode Island Engineering Professor Musa Jouaneh was named the recipient of the 2026 American Society for Engineering Education\u2019s Ralph Coats Roe Award.
