The mechanical engineering PhD program at UMass Amherst enables students to engage in interdisciplinary research alongside faculty and fellow students using top-tier facilities. This program covers key areas such as wind energy and fluid dynamics, bioengineering, control systems and dynamics, materials science, and advanced manufacturing across 35 cutting-edge research laboratories housed in the modern Life Sciences Laboratory Building. Graduates are equipped for research-oriented careers in academic institutions, industrial settings, and government research facilities. The degree's central requirement involves completing an original dissertation that contributes novel findings to the field. Applicants can enter the PhD program without holding a master's degree - those with bachelor's degrees in mechanical engineering or related disciplines may apply directly through the combined MS/PhD track.
