• The defining element of the graduate program in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering is interdisciplinary design.
  • Research within the department advances design in diverse fields such as manufacturing, micro-, and nano-technology, vehicles, biomechanics, aerostructures, sensors, controls, mechatronics, combustion, and energy systems. Graduate student researchers acquire skills to address both fundamental issues in these areas and to design complex, multi-component systems. The highly collaborative environment fosters multidisciplinary research while drawing on the study of mechanical engineering, mathematics, electrical engineering, materials science, biology, and nanotechnology.
