Education & Training

The education of students for careers in academia, industry, and government is one of UD-CCM’s primary objectives. Our students conduct hands-on research, apply classroom knowledge in a practical setting, and receive guidance and mentoring from professionals and affiliated faculty to develop relevant skills and industry-specific knowledge. The philosophy underlying graduate and undergraduate research programs at UD-CCM is that development of students into productive, proactive engineers is best accomplished in an environment of discovery, where research is an integral part of education and where students play an integral role in solving real-world problems.
