Undergraduates
Our goal is to provide students with a balance of intellectual and practical experiences that enable them to address a variety of societal needs, and prepares students for entry-level work as mechanical engineers or for graduate study in engineering.
Graduate Students
We aim to align academic course work with research to prepare scholars in specialized areas within the field. Areas of specialization include automatic controls, energy systems, fluid mechanics, design, and more.

Wendy Gu
""My group develops strong and resilient nanostructured materials for use in extreme environments, mechanically actuated optical nanomaterials, and self-assembled and 3D printed nano-architected composites."
Steve Collins
"My lab develops wearable robotic devices to improve the efficiency, speed and balance of walking and running, especially for people with disabilities such as amputation or stroke."
We work with an emphasis in five major research themes that together reflect the department’s focus and methodologies
Flow Physics & Computational Engineering (FPCE)
Flow Physics and Computational Engineering Group develops new theories, models, and computational tools for engineering design analysis and control of physical phenomena in engineering systems.
Mechanics and Computation (MC)
Mechanics and Computation covers theoretical and applied mechanics, continuum mechanics, finite element analysis, and computational simulation.
Thermosciences
The Thermosciences Group conducts experimental and analytical research on fundamental and applied topics in thermal and fluid systems.
Biomechanical (BME)
BME's teaching and research focus primarily on musculoskeletal biomechanics, neuromuscular biomechanics, cardiovascular biomechanics, and rehabilitation engineering.
