The department of engineering has well-equipped laboratories supporting some of its research activities. Additional research is conducted in the field using industrial facilities.

The ergonomics laboratory contains measurement apparatus for assessing stress levels imposed on human workers by various job designs and work environments.

The manufacturing processes laboratory consists of a wide range of manufacturing process equipment that can support research involving basic manufacturing processes. The laboratory includes numerous lathes and milling machines, a foundry with gas-fired and electric induction furnaces, molten salt heat treat facility, gas-flame metal cutting and joining processes, various welding processes, and material properties measurement equipment.

The Computer Integrated Manufacturing laboratory is a modern, well-equipped computer controlled manufacturing system. Equipment included in the lab are Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machining centers, robots, programmable logic controllers, a programmable conveyor, and computer workstations for Computer Aided Manufacturing.

Requirements

An applicant to the Graduate School at Kansas State University must have a bachelor's degree substantially the same as the ones granted by Kansas State University. That is, it must represent a broad range of courses in the basic academic disciplines. Applicants whose degrees do not meet these standards may be denied admission to graduate degree programs at Kansas State University.

Admission is denied to applicants holding bachelor's degrees with a significant amount of credit for work that was not supervised by a faculty member of an accredited college or university or evaluated in units that identify the academic content. A limited amount of credit for experience, when awarded as an acceptable part of a bachelor's degree for internships, fieldwork, or the like, is not a cause for denial but must be clearly identified as graded work.

Applicants to graduate degree programs pay a non-refundable application fee of: * $50 for U.S. citizens and permanent residents and
* $75 for international applicants
