MSOE students are bright, creative, hard-working and fun to be around. Ours is a close-knit community of about 3,000 students, faculty and staff—large enough for big opportunities and small enough for personal attention. Located in a vibrant downtown neighborhood in Milwaukee, MSOE offers students an engaging learning and living environment. The university is fully committed to every student who is willing to be challenged and work hard to become a better person as a successful MSOE graduate

Since 1903, MSOE has been offering an applications-based education, partnering with leaders of business and industry to shape the institution’s development. Early supporters realized that their future depended upon educational institutions that could prepare men and women to fill newly created engineering and management positions.

Today, MSOE offers 17 bachelor’s degrees and 11 master’s degrees. The students who attend MSOE come from all parts of the United States and dozens of other countries. More than 20,000 alumni live and work throughout the United States and abroad, and nearly 2,000 of them own their own businesses or are officers of companies.

"Are You Ready" kicked off the grand opening for MSOE's new Dwight and Dian Diercks Computational Science Hall on Sept. 13, 2019.

Are You Ready?

MSOE celebrated the grand opening of Dwight and Dian Diercks Computational Science Hall on Sept. 13, 2019. The 65,536-square-foot building features an NVIDIA GPU-powered supercomputer nicknamed "Rosie."  Rosie is housed in a state-of-the-art datacenter in Diercks Hall and is powered by more than 100 of the most advanced NVIDIA GPUs. 

Unique to MSOE, the supercomputer will be available to undergraduate students, offering them the ability to apply their learning in a hands-on environment to prepare for their careers. 

The name of this number-crunching behemoth was inspired by the women who programmed one of the earliest computers – the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC). This video explains the inspiration for the supercomputer's name and was shown at the grand opening event.
