ABET Outcomes and Objectives

The graduate program in the Department of Mechanical Engineering prepares students for either the M.S. or Ph.D. degree, offering opportunities with faculty who are nationally and internationally recognized for their research. The graduate program is multidisciplinary, often collaborating with faculty throughout the university and combining research topics across traditional boundaries.

The Department emphasizes four core areas, Controls and Manufacturing, Dynamics and Vibrations, Solid Mechanics, Thermo-fluids. However, students are encouraged to devise a plan of study that fits their interests, regardless of how it cuts across these traditional disciplines.
