Graduate education at UC Merced is organized around graduate programs that emphasize a highly interdisciplinary approach to research and scholarship. The faculties of the three schools are committed to working together to provide course offerings and research experiences that transcend disciplinary boundaries and attack important real-world problems.
Engineering is about problem solving, innovation and the creation of devices, systems, processes and structures for human use. Engineers create new ideas and transform them into products and services that improve people's lives. Engineers apply mathematics and the principles of science -- particularly chemistry and physics -- to solve problems and meet society’s needs.
