The College of Engineering and Computer Science offers eight undergraduate degree programs, two undergraduate degree programs that are collateral to a principal undergraduate degree in engineering or computer science, and a minor in computer science. At the graduate level, thirteen master’s degree programs and two Ph.D. programs are offered. Graduate and Ph.D. classes are available in the evenings, making them convenient for many students who work in local industry. The college's partnerships with major domestic automobile companies and automotive suppliers have led to many educational opportunities for its students and research for both students and faculty. Regular feedback from its Visiting Committee, a group of industrial leaders, helps shape the curricula, develop laboratory facilities, and design collaborative research projects in the college. Some outcomes of the industry partnership were the establishment of the Center for Engineering Education and Practice in 1991, which was renamed the Henry Patton Center for Engineering Education and Practice (HP-CEEP) in 2004, and the Institute for Advanced Vehicle Systems (IAVS) in 1997. HP-CEEP helps to incorporate engineering practice, design, innovation and concepts of manufacturing technology at all levels of engineering education by integrating the teaching environment with the world of practice. The mission of IAVS is to accelerate applied research for advanced vehicle systems in the areas of product development and manufacturing.

The mission of the College of Engineering and Computer Science is to be the leader in providing quality undergraduate and graduate programs in an environment integrated with engineering practice, research, and continuing professional education, in close partnership with the industrial community.

Career Services has provided statistics for students graduating in years 2008 through 2010. These statistics are gathered using a model similar to those at other Michigan universities and are reliant on the graduates self-reporting via a survey sent to them after graduation. Some of the key statistics reported include:

Campus Wide

• 2008, 75% of graduates that responded achieved their post graduation goals (employment, grad school, or positive element toward their career such as starting a business)
• 2009, 76% of graduates that responded achieved their post graduation goals
• 2010, 87% of graduates that responded achieved their post graduation goals

CECS

• 2008, 86% of graduates that responded achieved their post graduation goals (employment, grad school, or positive element toward their career such as starting a business)
• 2009, 83% of graduates that responded achieved their post graduation goals
• 2010, 90% of graduates that responded achieved their post graduation goals
