Discover Engineering and Computer Science

With a degree in biomedical engineering or biological engineering, you can make an impact on thousands or even millions of lives. People with these degrees often research new medical technology, developing things like artificial limbs or novel ways for diagnosing and treating diseases. These degrees can also be a first step toward medical school.

Imagine using data science to predict the outbreak of deadly diseases, developing technology for the integration of renewable energy, or launching a funding platform to democratize access to investment for small businesses. These are just a few of the possibilities with a degree in computer science or computer engineering.
 
Discover how Laura Stanley is developing augmented reality to help people with opioid addiction or how Brittany Terese Fasy is working on data tools that could be used for improved detection of cancer.

Picture climbing atop a glacier to study the effects of climate change, bringing clean drinking water to communities, or developing new methods for removing mining waste from the environment. Through MSU’s program in environmental engineering, you can take the first step toward improving the health of our planet.

Read how Adrienne Phillips is leading a team of researchers to study bacteria that may be able to plug oil and gas leaks, or how Christine Foreman's research is rasing awareness about the importance of microbes to climate change.

What if more buildings utilized solar energy and geothermal power? What if the nation’s 250+ million vehicles were powered by electricity or fuel derived from plants? From civil engineering to computer science, MSU offers a swath of majors for those who want to revolutionize the way we use energy. Electrical engineering, chemical engineering and biological engineering are also excellent choices.
