Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (Non Thesis)

The Department of Mechanical Engineering has an active graduate program encompassing advanced study and research in the major areas of dynamics and controls, fluid mechanics and heat transfer, materials science and engineering, and theoretical and computational mechanics. Current research topics include:

computational fluid dynamics applied to problems ranging from the circulatory system and to the dynamics of offshore platforms,
control of complex systems such as engine exhaust after-treatment, orbiting spacecraft, and structures built from smart materials,
health monitoring and design optimization applied to a range of structures from micro-scale devices to bridges,
biomedical research into biosensing, micro-scale bioreactors and health prognostics of the cardiovascular system,
experimental studies of turbulent flows occurring in energy systems and two-phase flows in micro-scale heat exchangers.

a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or in a related field, preferably from an accredited engineering program.
a grade point average of at least 3.00 out of 4.00 on the last 60 semester credit hours attempted exclusive of grades received for activities such as seminars, physical education, industrial internships, etc.
