Faculty of Engineering & Technology
Building the Future. Leading Innovation. Seven departments spanning the most critical technology sectors of the 21st century — from artificial intelligence and cybersecurity to aerospace, robotics, and electric vehicle technology.
Seven Departments
Each department is designed to prepare students for the high-demand careers of today and tomorrow — with hands-on training, federal partnerships, and a commitment to community benefit.
Precision manufacturing, CNC machining, additive manufacturing (3D printing), and industrial automation — preparing students for careers in Detroit's revitalized manufacturing sector and beyond.
Foundational and applied AI/ML coursework covering neural networks, natural language processing, computer vision, and ethical AI deployment in real-world systems.
Comprehensive training in network security, ethical hacking, digital forensics, and information assurance — aligned with federal cybersecurity frameworks and DoD standards.
Aerodynamics, propulsion systems, avionics, and spacecraft design — with pathways into defense contracting, commercial aviation, and the emerging commercial space sector.
Hands-on robotics design, programming, and systems integration — preparing students for careers in automated manufacturing, medical robotics, and autonomous systems development.
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) design, operation, and regulatory compliance — with applications in agriculture, infrastructure inspection, defense, and emergency response.
EV powertrain systems, battery technology, charging infrastructure, and climate resilience engineering — directly tied to the university's clean energy and community development mission.
Federal & Community Partnerships
Federal engineering assignments and community development projects, including 85 model affordable housing units in Detroit.
Community Development Corporation executing engineering and clean energy projects in underserved Detroit neighborhoods.
Secure 5G broadband connectivity delivering engineering instruction to virtual classrooms and Public Computer Centers statewide.
Federal land-grant authority directing the college's applied science and mechanical arts curriculum toward community benefit.
