Armed with an engineering mechanics degree, our alumni create, evaluate, and interpret intricate systems across diverse applications—from human cellular networks and nanomaterials built at microscopic scales to amusement park rides and orbital vehicles. At UW-Madison, engineering mechanics serves as the core discipline for aerospace engineering. Our academic program equips learners for professional paths in numerous sectors such as healthcare, sustainable energy, cosmic discovery, and beyond. Being among the more intimate engineering programs, we emphasize cultivating a collaborative environment that fosters student achievement throughout their studies and into their professional journeys.
Engineering mechanics explores how forces induce deformations, movements, oscillations, and other physical reactions. It underpins aerospace, mechanical, and civil engineering, while playing a crucial role in biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, materials science, and additional technical fields.
