Graduate Degrees offered:
M.S., M.Eng. and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering
M.S. and Ph.D. in Computational and Engineering Mechanics

The graduate program in Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics (MEM) offers a challenging environment in which students work closely with faculty who are internationally renowned for their research.

Key features of the program include:
  • A comprehensive curriculum that accommodates students pursuing the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees as well as the professional M.Eng. degree;
  • Strong research collaborations with industrial partners and with faculty from other countries;
  • Unique laboratory facilities.
Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics graduate students typically conduct research in teams on interdisciplinary projects in areas that include materials processing and manufacturing, fluid-solid interactions, composite structures, smart materials, integrity and reliability of engineering systems, integrated product development, biomechanics, mechatronics, energy and the environment, and thermal-fluid systems.
