A Great Place to Launch a Career!
With the benefit of engineering specific recruitment events such as the "speed dating” style Career Networking Night, some 90 percent of our undergrads find jobs within six months of graduation.

An enterprising group of undergraduate researchers, working on cutting-edge projects, will present a joint poster session of their summertime Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) on Friday, August 4, from 10:00 a.m. until noon in the Campus Center Auditorium at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. All the posters will be on display for visitors, and the student researchers will be available to explain each project in understandable language for nonscientists.
Jae-Hwang Lee
Jae-Hwang Lee, the head of the Nano-Engineering Laboratory in the UMass Amherst Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (MIE) Department, is a member of a multi-institutional and multi-disciplinary team of researchers who co-authored a fundamental materials research article on cold spray additive manufacturing published in the prestigious journal Nature Scientific Report. Cold spray is a materials consolidation process that utilizes micron-sized particles and accelerates them at supersonic velocities through a de Laval rocket nozzle. The impacting particles undergo extreme plastic deformation and then consolidate, thus forming a dense coating with a near net-shaped quality.
Sarah Perry
Chemical Engineering (ChE) Professor Sarah Perry has transformed her class in microfluidics from the sort of dry theoretical course she took in graduate school into the kind of applied, do-it-yourself experience that every engineer loves. Perry designed her course in “Microfluidics and Microscale Analysis in Materials and Biology CHEM-ENG 590E” to give students industrially and scientifically relevant, hands-on, laboratory projects based on microfluidic technology.
