- The School of Mechanical, Industrial, and Manufacturing Engineering offers graduate programs leading to the Master of Engineering, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees.
- Master's degree candidates may pursue a thesis or nonthesis options; students in the non-thesis option must complete additional course work where an individual project may be included.
- The mechanical engineering field is diverse, therefore, research activities in the school encompass a broad range of technical endeavors.
- Areas of research include applied mechanics, solid mechanics, biomechanics, dynamics, stress analysis, design, systems and control, energy, applied thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, metallurgy, and materials science.
- In addition, research activities have been directed toward areas of current interest and need, including wind energy, microscale energy conversion, combustion, composite materials, superconductors, advanced materials.
