Mechanics and Computation Group Curriculum
To deal with complex and often multidisciplinary problems, the engineer must have a thorough knowledge of analytical, computational and experimental methods, and a deep understanding of underlying physical principles. To achieve this level of understanding, graduate curricula in Mechanics and Computation include core work in solids, fluids and computational mechanics, dynamics, fracture and biomechanics. Course work is supplemented with research in the student’s specialized area of interest.
MS candidates planning to proceed to a PhD program are encouraged to consider arranging three or more units of directed study (ME391/392) during their MS program.
A Seminar Series on topics related to research in the Mechanics and Computation Group is offered every quarter.
Depth and Breadth Requirement info is available in the ME Graduate Handbook (login with active stanford.edu email address is required).
