Mechanical Engineering Graduate School Seminar Series (MEGS3)

A Webinar Series by the Big 10+ Mechanical Engineering Departments

The Mechanical Engineering Graduate School Seminar Series consists of presentations about graduate studies at top mechanical engineering departments across the nation. The online webinars will occur every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday at 5:00 pm Eastern Time and will consist of representatives from a single graduate program presenting for 45 minutes about the graduate program at their institution. The seminar series will kick off with a panel discussion — "The Nuts and Bolts of ME Graduate Studies" — which covers general topics related to graduate study such as degree options, funding opportunities, crafting your application, and selecting a school.

The intended audience for this seminar series is undergraduates and MS students that might be interested in graduate studies in mechanical engineering.
