The Walker Department of Mechanical Engineering creates and develops technologies that revolutionize industries and enhance global quality of life. As a trailblazer in robotics and cutting-edge manufacturing, Texas Mechanical Engineering pioneered selective laser sintering, among the earliest and most impactful 3D printing methods. Our nationally top-ranked undergraduate and graduate programs set the standard for mechanical engineering education and breakthroughs. Throughout their academic experience, students engage in hands-on learning - from introductory research programs for freshmen to capstone Senior Design Projects. They cultivate creative problem-solving and teamwork skills, applying classroom theories to practical scenarios.
As one of the most versatile engineering fields, our comprehensive curriculum provides students with deep expertise in mechanics, motion analysis, thermodynamics, and energy systems. These fundamentals enable them to create and evaluate diverse solutions, from climate control technologies to healthcare equipment. Regularly ranked among America's elite programs, our alumni pursue successful careers across technology, engineering, business, government, and beyond. Our graduate program prepares future industry leaders and innovators who will redefine energy, materials, and information systems to address societal challenges.
Biomechanical engineering applies mechanical engineering expertise to the creation, analysis, and improvement of biological systems, encompassing prosthetic devices, medical instrumentation, thermal processes in living organisms, biomaterials, biological mechanics, bioprocessing, cellular dynamics, biological system design, and physiological mechanisms.

Qualification Requirements
To be eligible for graduate study in mechanical engineering, students must satisfy the following minimum requirements:
Have a minimum 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) grade point average (GPA) in junior- and senior-level work and in any graduate work already completed.
Hold a bachelor of science degree in physical sciences (chemistry, physics) or in an engineering discipline from an accredited institution.
TOEFL or IELTS (international students only)
Submit official transcripts from previous colleges or universities
Statement of Purpose - Make sure you upload your Statement of Purpose and Resume (or CV) when you come to those sections on the application. Your Statement of Purpose should be a summary of your academic and professional goals, as well as a description of the research work you have done in your past, and what research work you plan to do as a graduate student at UT. Please make sure these documents are edited to your liking before you upload them, for they cannot be deleted once they have been uploaded to your application.
Three Letters of Recommendation - Make sure you enter the valid e-mail address of each referee you want to submit a recommendation for you when you get to that section on the application. Please use the university domain address for each professor you are requesting a reference. Once you have completed this section of the application, a notice will be sent to each referee showing them where to go to complete a recommendation for you using our online system. Three is only the minimum number of recommendations required to accompany your application. You are welcome to add more.
Applications to the M.S. and Ph.D. programs in Mechanical Engineering no longer require the submission of GRE scores. Submitting these scores is optional.
Average TOEFL score for ME/ORIE admits: 106 (iBT)
