    "The MME graduate program provided the opportunity for me to expand my knowledge base and hone my skills through research and coursework....the research opportunities provided by the graduate program allowed me to build professional relationships with industry ...and propelled my exciting career in design and optimization of aerospace systems."

    Danielle Oliver

    MS-ME (2020) System Engineer Raytheon Missile and Defense

    "Since I also attended the undergraduate CS program at Miami, the MSCS program at Miami is more like an extension of my research path during my undergraduate. The additional year staying in the program improved my understanding of the field I worked with and allowed me to continue my research work with my mentor, Dr. Raychoudhury, and to produce several successful publications that got me into my current Ph.D. program."

    Steven Yu

    MS-CS (2021) Ph.D. Student University of Texas at Austin

    "The MSCS program allowed me to earn my Masters's degree while working directly with government research laboratories, which gave me valuable hands-on experience in High-Performance Computing and government contracting. Throughout my Master's thesis work, there was a consistent focus on writing, communication, and presentation skills, which prepared me for the National Laboratory research environment."

    Nick Hagerty

    MS-CS (2021) High-Performance Computing (HPC) Engineer Oak Ridge National Laboratory

    "Miami University has fabulous curriculum arrangements and research opportunities. All these not only helped me establish a solid engineering foundation but also enhanced my logical thinking and abilities in problem-solving. These are all essentials for future work ethics. I feel grateful to get guidance in Miami University graduate school"
