The Woodruff School offers a rigorous graduate program designed for students with backgrounds in engineering, mechanics, mathematics, and physical or life sciences, leading to a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering. While most coursework is elective, all study plans must satisfy the School's standards for breadth, depth, and academic level.
Micro and Nano Engineering focuses on designing, fabricating, and characterizing miniature structures and devices, along with their integration into larger systems. At these tiny scales, materials often exhibit unique properties that differ significantly from their macroscopic counterparts. The Group's mission is to advance engineering knowledge and develop innovative products at nano- and microscales. This involves pioneering new manufacturing techniques, investigating novel material properties enabled by micro/nanoscale phenomena, educating students in these technologies, and addressing critical challenges through micro/nanoengineering solutions. Research areas span diverse fields including nanostructure properties, nanomanufacturing techniques, various sensor technologies, energy systems, medical imaging devices, MEMS integration, microfluidics, thermal management, and advanced fabrication methods for nanotechnology applications.
