Knowledge is central to everything we do in the College of Engineering.
Research, or the creation of knowledge, and education, or the dissemination of knowledge, are our core missions within the College of Engineering, and these are seamlessly integrated to enhance the knowledge of those we serve.
Research activity in the College of Engineering has increased 4X over the last eight years.
Many projects engage faculty and students in multidisciplinary teams that cross departmental, college and university lines.
These advanced research projects are supported by such agencies as NSF, NIH, NASA, DOE, DoD, the State of Ohio, private foundations and many industrial partners such as FirstEnergy, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, BP, GE, The Timken Company, Parker Hannafin, Goodyear, Bridgestone/Firestone and others.
Please take a moment to explore our many and diverse research activities and feel free to contact us for additional information.
Ties with Industry
