The Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Graduate Program regularly evaluates the degree criteria for M.S. candidates, establishing what students need to complete to obtain their degree. Candidates must adhere to the requirements active during their initial enrollment quarter, though they may request approval from the Graduate Advisor for Continuing Students to switch to the latest year's standards. It's important to understand that students cannot request to revert to requirements from years prior to their enrollment. The program provides both Ph.D. and M.S. degrees, with research spanning various disciplines including manufacturing, micro/nanotechnology, vehicle design, biomechanics, aerostructures, sensors, controls, mechatronics, combustion, and energy systems. Graduate researchers develop expertise to tackle core challenges in these fields while designing sophisticated, integrated systems. This collaborative setting encourages cross-disciplinary work, incorporating mechanical engineering, mathematics, electrical engineering, materials science, biology, and nanotechnology. Graduates emerge with both analytical and practical capabilities essential for careers in research and academia within mechanical and aeronautical engineering.
