On a scale few other universities rival, Mercer gives undergraduates the chance to conduct research and avenues to present it. We do more than teach engineering science: We integrate research and real-world problem-solving to give students the practical experience they need to tackle the toughest challenges. We engage and inspire, encouraging scholars to evaluate, design, invent, test, discover, redesign and succeed. more >>
On a scale few other universities rival, Mercer gives undergraduates the chance to conduct research and avenues to present it. We do more than teach engineering science: We integrate research and real-world problem-solving to give students the practical experience they need to tackle the toughest challenges. We engage and inspire, encouraging scholars to evaluate, design, invent, test, discover, redesign and succeed.
Our engineering graduates step into leadership roles in industry, government and the military, meeting the growing demand for solutions right here in Georgia and around the globe. They make waves in biomedical, computer, electrical, environmental and industrial engineering. They go on to medical school and law school. They succeed at Fortune 500 companies in aerospace, healthcare, energy and telecom. They develop medical devices, write software for power grids, keep the environment safe, design aircraft and bring clean-water solutions to developing nations.
Scholarships help make that possible. Mercer's is one of the few engineering programs in the country to offer scholarship funds through the fifth year of study, allowing students to complete master's-level work. Increasing our endowment will allow the School of Engineering to open more doors for the bright young minds that will find tomorrow's solutions, at home and abroad.
A strong endowment ensures continued financial security for the years ahead and gives Mercer the chance to create additional endowed professorships to bring top engineering talent to our growing pool of accomplished educators.
In providing our students and faculty with access to emerging technological advances, we give them the tools to compete on an international scale, to find solutions globally and locally and to adapt to ever-changing needs. more >>

Access to technology offers a competitive edge that puts Mercer graduates to work at energy giants like Siemens, the Southern Company and the Tennessee Valley Authority. They are ready for the aeronautical challenges at Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Gulfstream Aerospace or Northrop Grumman. Our engineering alumni are designing solutions for the production of school buses at the Blue Bird Corporation, innovative medical equipment at MRI Interventions Inc., smartphones at Motorola and military surveillance equipment at L-3 Communications.
When you offer the best, you get the best in return, drawing world-class faculty and top students to a program with a growing reputation for excellence. And when you attract the best people, they not only benefit from cutting-edge technology; sometimes, they invent it. A case in point is Mercer's Dr. Ha Van Vo, an associate professor of biomedical engineering, who developed a low-cost and highly durable Universal Socket Prosthetic. In the past six years, working through Mercer On Mission, Dr. Vo and University students have made 11 trips abroad, fitting the artificial leg to more than 4,000 people in Vietnam and Haiti, where desperate need exists.
Our graduates are among the best-trained engineers in the nation. With practical experience solving real-world problems, they leave our University ready to succeed, anywhere they go.
