The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering offers a combined graduate program with degrees of Master of Engineering (ME), Master of Science (MS), and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. The courses are organized into three fields of study: solid mechanics, dynamical systems & control, and thermofluids.
Many offered courses cover the above areas, and great flexibility exists within multi-disciplinary research, accomodating significant coursework outside of MAE. The resulting curriculum is designed to accommodate non-traditional students with undergraduate degrees in other scientific or engineering fields. Departmental courses deal with fundamental principles, analytical methods, computational techniques, and practical applications. The faculty of the department strive to offer graduate courses that will challenge their students’ capabilities, inform them of cutting-edge innovations, and develop in them an appreciation for the deep beauty and history of our discipline.
The department's mechanical and aerospace research facilities include a rotating machinery and controls laboratory; several subsonic wind tunnel laboratories; a supersonic combustion laboratory; a supersonic wind tunnel laboratory; the center for applied biomechanics; the bio-inspired engineering and research lab, the aerospace research lab; a nano-scale mechanics and materials characterization laboratory; a bio thermo fluids laboratory; a micro-scale heat-transfer laboratory; a control systems laboratory; and an aerogel laboratory. Several of these laboratories are unique among all universities in the world.
