The Engineering Mechanics program, overseen by the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, offers interdisciplinary training in structural mechanics, solid behavior analysis, material science fundamentals, and material processing. Modern computational solid mechanics, powered by advanced algorithms, has transformed our capacity to model both linear and nonlinear structural behaviors. Designing cutting-edge materials demands skills spanning stress analysis to material science, making this a cross-disciplinary initiative involving Chemical, Civil and Environmental, and Mechanical Engineering graduate programs. The curriculum also provides a foundation for pursuing a Doctor of Engineering degree. Students can specialize in two key areas: 1. Structural Mechanics, 2. Mechanics and Materials
The Structural Mechanics specialization focuses on analytical and computational methods, highlighting numerical techniques and computer modeling of structural and material behaviors through stress/strain analysis. The Mechanics and Materials track delves into material science, covering laboratory testing and the creation of innovative engineered materials. All participants are required to complete a designated set of core courses.
