The Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering was founded in 1995 and quickly gained national recognition for its innovative multidisciplinary, project-based approach to engineering education, establishing itself as a national leader in engineering education. In 2013, the State of New Jersey designated Rowan University a comprehensive research university, and in 2017 our university was recognized as a Carnegie-classified research institution. During that period, Rowan Engineering doubled both its full-time faculty and student population, as well as started its engineering PhD programs. In 2017, we opened the doors of Engineering Hall and, in 2023, completed a full renovation of our original home, Rowan Hall. These projects tripled our available space and provided the College with state-of-the-art research and teaching facilities. The College currently enrolls over 1,800 undergraduate and graduate students in six departments and is home to five research centers. Further information about the College is available at https://engineering.rowan.edu.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering is home to roughly 350 undergraduates, 75 MS/PhD students, 15 faculty members, and 4 staff members. The ME undergraduate program has consistently received high recognition from employers and academic peers with its multidisciplinary “Engineering Clinics” as a hallmark. We seek to further strengthen our graduate research and teaching, while maintaining the excellence of the undergraduate program, through multiple faculty hiring. Some major research strengths of the department include advanced manufacturing, materials science & engineering, soft robotics, and thermal-fluid sciences. Many of our faculty are core team members of the Digital Engineering Hub (DEHub) and the Advanced Materials & Manufacturing Institute (AMMI) at Rowan University. Newly-hired faculty members will complement and expand research expertise in the department and build strong connections with government/industry in the region and beyond.
Rowan University is an R2 (High Research Activity) Carnegie-classified Doctoral University offering bachelor’s through doctoral programs to over 22,000 students through its campuses in Glassboro, Camden, and Stratford, New Jersey, and online. It is the 3rd fastest growing research university in the nation, and in 2024, US News and World Report ranked Rowan #88 among national public universities. The Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering is located on the main campus in Glassboro, NJ (20 miles southeast of Philadelphia). The University comprises eight colleges, eight schools, and a multidisciplinary Honors College. Rowan University annual sponsored research and grants total $62.7 M. The institution is home to South Jersey Technology Park, which hosts 24 tenant companies. Further information about the University can be found here.
