We're receiving many enrollment acceptances for Fall 2013!  Looks like we're going to have an amazing new class of students joining our department.  Are you a recently admitted student trying to decide where you will go next year?  Want to get a better feel for the department and campus, but maybe you're not able to visit in person?  Check out these resources if you haven't already done so!

Why do students choose MechSE? 
Our Grad Student Life page features articles about student in our programs, what they are researching, and why they chose to study at MechSE. While you're there, I recommend that you also read about the student organizations in our department - GraMS and MGW.

How can I get a feel for the environment even though I'm not able to visit campus?
Check out our Youtube channels.  The University of Illinois channel has a number of resources and featured playlists.  MechSE also has its own channel in which you can check out some experiments and projects our students are working on!

What about the Champaign-Urbana area?
The Champaign-Urbana environment is summed up in this short video.  Check it out!

 

As always, contact us with any questions!
