Career Outcomes
Using today’s knowledge to shape
tomorrow’s engineers
The School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy, part of Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University, is home to hundreds of renowned researchers in four of the top engineering fields.
With programs in mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, aerospace engineering and materials science and engineering, the school takes an interdisciplinary approach to help students become skilled and confident engineers who can invent new and efficient ways to do things in the world.
Through programs such as the Fulton Undergraduate Research Initiative, you’ll be provided with hands-on lab experience, equipping you with skills and abilities that are attractive to future employers and graduate programs. You can also join research groups that align with your interests, which is crucial to finding your career path.
By joining student organizations, you’ll get to meet likeminded engineers working hard to achieve similar goals as yours. You’ll get to participate in competitions, where you’ll build solutions to issues you care about.
From advanced labs to internships and entrepreneurship programs, you’ll have the resources you need to be successful.

What our students say
After partaking in two research internships, I realized how well ASU faculty had prepared me. I understood how research is conducted and was already familiar with several techniques used in my internships. Coursework within the materials science and engineering program and student service offices prepared me well for these internship experiences.
Megan Duncan’22 BSE in materials science and engineering
I had summer internships at the City of Casa Grande Public Works Engineering Department and Johns Manville throughout my time at ASU. I am also accepting an internship at Intel next semester. ASU provided me with the skills necessary to truly show interviewers my best qualities and how to shine through the interview process.
