MSc in Mechanical Engineering - Mechanics and Design in Boston United States | Northeastern University

The Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering offers a specialization in Mechanics and Design. This program explores how solid materials behave under force and external influences, examining movement, deformation, and structural failure. Participants will collaborate with faculty on research projects, witnessing firsthand how these investigations drive significant engineering breakthroughs. Faculty in the Mechanics & Design division employ analytical, computational, experimental, and design approaches to investigate functional materials, adhesion mechanics, biomechanics, and mechanobiology. Our biomechanics work, for instance, bridges the relationship between bone structure, function, and disease through computational modeling and lab experiments, while also investigating lipid-based drug delivery systems. At microscopic scales, we pioneer discoveries in nanomechanics, contact physics, tribology, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and energy storage nanomaterials. This integrated research and curriculum equips students to harness mechanical principles for future technological advancements.
