The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) at the University of Florida is the largest academic program on campus. Our Mechanical Engineering program celebrated its 100 year anniversary in 2009 and is one of the founding departments of the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering. Now more than a decade beyond the successful merger of the mechanical and aerospace programs, MAE remains a vibrant and intellectually diverse program at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. 🐊⚙️🚀
