   The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers graduate programs
leading to the degrees of Master of Mechanical Engineering and Doctor
of Philosophy in mechanical engineering.
   The graduate programs are designed to provide a broad based
extension of the undergraduate experience in combination with formal
course work and research in the student's selected area of
specialization. Independent research is required for both the Master's
with Thesis and Doctoral degrees. A non-thesis Master's degree is
available for part-time students.
   The research opportunities in the department cover essentially all
fundamental fields of mechanical engineering including solid and fluid
mechanics, materials, dynamics, thermodynamics and heat transfer.
Applied and interdisciplinary areas such as bio-, rehabilitation and
ocean-engineering, controls, robotics and design are also well
represented in the ongoing research.
