MSc in Mechanical Engineering (Thesis) - Air Quality in Boulder United States | University of Colorado Boulder

The Department of Mechanical Engineering aims to advance scientific knowledge, pioneer cutting-edge technologies, and cultivate inventive engineers capable of addressing pressing societal issues: enhancing healthcare, strengthening security, and developing eco-friendly energy solutions. The Master of Science Thesis program offers eight specialized tracks for mechanical engineering students.

The Air Quality concentration covers diverse subjects including atmospheric monitoring, climate shifts, chemical processes in the atmosphere, health consequences, pollution management strategies, and regulatory frameworks. Investigations range from micro-scale (building-level) to macro-scale (global) assessments, incorporating theoretical research, practical social science applications, and community-focused studies, as well as computer simulations and on-site experiments in isolated areas. CU Boulder enjoys a privileged location within an exceptional network of research institutions and federal laboratories specializing in atmospheric studies. Key facilities like NREL, NCAR, NOAA, and NIST are all within a half-hour commute from the university campus.
