Students

If you want to surround yourself with students who demonstrate a special dedication to learning and a willingness to challenge themselves inside and outside the classroom, you'll have no trouble finding those students in RIT's mechanical engineering programs. Check out what some of our students have to say about their RIT experiences, and some of the great things that they have accomplished:

Students Clubs and Competition Teams
Mechanical Engineering

Our students are engaged. They are active, and we need to challenge them and offer them opportunities to come together, to apply their skills in a highly effective, and ethical manner, and to coordinate their actions with other members of the team. Our competition teams and co-curricular clubs are designed to provide our students with that opportunity, with the added twist of giving our students the chance to apply the technical skills learned in the classroom and laboratory to an open ended design problem.

First Year Students
Mechanical Engineering

Over one quarter of our entering class participated in high school music programs before coming to RIT, while 70% of them have taken AP exams, and two thirds have participated in sports. Our first year students have volunteered to bring peace to Cyprus, work in their local hospitals, or support the special olympics.  Many of them want to design cars, or become inventors, while some have already set their sights set on getting a Masters in Engineering, or an MBA.
