Discover the latest breakthroughs in Internal Combustion Engines with MTU and USCAR.
Michigan Tech is proud to announce an expansion of graduate-level courses in the specialized area of internal combustion engines (ICE). These courses are available on campus at Michigan Tech, and will also be available soon online, via the MTU Global Campus.
Students can enroll in these individually if they require expertise in a certain area. Or they can take several to create a graduate certificate that provides more advanced, specialized knowledge in internal combustion engines. Currently, the Department of Mechanical Engineering-Engineering Mechanics is developing a 15-course ICE graduate certificate.
Alternatively, students may pursue an MS in Mechanical Engineering with a focus area on ICE.
As with all graduate programs, the online application is free. And no GRE is required.

Learn From Industry Experts
These courses have been developed by Dr. Jeff Naber in collaboration with Dr. Andrea Strzelec, Sr. Research Scientist at USCAR. Strzelec, who holds a Ph.D. in Combustion Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison Engine Research Center, specializes in transportation and fuels, as well as engine research.
USCAR, the United States Council for Automotive Research, is an umbrella organization that facilitates pre-competitive research and development collaboration among three major American automotive manufacturers: General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis (previously Chrysler).
The organization’s main objective is strengthening the U.S. auto industry’s technology base. It does so by promoting cooperative research efforts, reducing costs, supporting regulatory compliance, and accelerating the development of advanced technologies.
