Mechanical Engineering students may elect to focus on one of the following three areas of concentration.
Systems and Mechanics This concentration includes theories of computer-aided design and
manufacturing, control systems, damage mechanics, digital signal
processing, dynamics, elasticity, fracture mechanics, linear and nonlinear
vibrations, kinematics of mechanisms, machining and metal removal, micromechanics,
optimization, plasticity, plates and shells, robotics, stability, and
wave propagation.
Thermal & Fluid Sciences Emphasis is on energy conversion in machines, evolving technologies such as alternative energy sources, the relationship between fluid flow and associated forces, and thermal engineering. Also included are fundamental and applied aspects of high-speed combustion, advanced thermal manufacturing, and computational fluid dynamics.
