- In the M.Sc. program, graduate students complete coursework and a project. All graduate programs are conducted under the supervision of a faculty member.
- Faculty members pursue research in six broad areas of mechanical engineering:
- advanced engineering design and manufacturing
- applied mechanics and machine design
- bioengineering
- control systems, robotics, and fluid power
- fluid dynamics, thermal sciences, and energy
- materials science and metallurgy
- The program has research programs range from fundamental investigations intended to advance theoretical understanding to practical studies intended to solve current industrial and environmental problems. A significant number of research projects involve industrial partners who provide funding, expertise, and access to special research facilities.
