Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering
Established in 1872, the Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics
program continues its tradition of excellence in research and education.
Our graduate program offers MSE and PhD degrees in Mechanical Engineering
and Applied Mechanics and emphasizes fundamental concepts and their
use in applications. The program is managed by a Graduate Group. In addition to Mechanical Engineering
faculty, the graduate group consists of prominent faculty members
from diverse disciplines such as Material Science, Bio Engineering,
Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science,
and the Wharton School. The graduate group structure provides an
ideal environment for interdisciplinary research and education tailored
to meet the complex technological challenges of this millennium.
The research in the department focuses on Mechanical Systems (Robotics,
Manufacturing, Micro-Mechatronics, and Micro Electro Mechanical
System), Mechanics of Materials, Fluid Mechanics (Buoyancy Induced
Flow, Flow Control, Combustion, Multi-Phase Flows, Micro Fluid Mechanics,
and various Industrial Problems) and Heat Transfer (Phase Change,
Crystal Growth, and Micro Heat Exchangers). Many of the research
theses of our students are co-advised by faculty drawn from diverse
disciplines. After their graduation, many of our students have assumed
leadership roles in industry and academia.
