| On this page: Graduates-1991 | Since it began in 1982, the Precision Engineering Center has produced over 70 MS and PhD degrees in mechanical engineering, materials science, physics, electrical engineering and computer science. These graduates have taking positions in industry, national labs and universities. The demand for our graduates remains high as industry becomes more aware of the benefits of precision engineering on the design and manufacturing of mechanical, electronic and photonic components.
