It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the Engineering Mechanics web
site. The Engineering Mechanics Department has a strong tradition of excellence
in research and teaching. We have an energetic faculty
actively engaging in theoretical and experimental research in all areas
of mechanics. Several laboratories
are equipped with state-of-the-art equipment. Intensive computational research
is routinely carried out on Cray and Silicon Graphics Supercomputers in
the Engineering College and on our workstation clusters. Our research programs
and laboratories are funded by the National Science Foundation, the Air
Force Office of Scientific Research, the Army Research Office, the National
Institute of Health, and state resources.The department offers teaching
and research assistantships, as well as fellowships through the Graduate
Studies Office of the University. Additional stipends and fellowships may
be awarded for outstanding research work, depending on the availability
of resources.
The department offers a diverse and integrated graduate curriculum in
mechanics. Graduate students can earn a thesis or non-thesis based Master
of Science Degree, and a dissertation based Doctor
of Philosophy Degree. The Graduate Program is distinguished by its
basic core courses, which guarantee a mastery of the fundamentals in mechanics,
and a flexible program tailored by students in consultation with advisors
to accomplish their professional objectives. The department has a stimulating
learning and intellectual atmosphere, in which students work closely with
their advisors and learn from other faculty and students to gain broad
perspectives in the various areas of mechanics. Interdisciplinary work
is available through various research
centers.
Our students have successfully competed for jobs in major engineering
fields, including automative, aerospace, civil, computer, mechanical, materials
and industrial engineering, and in diverse positions including analysis,
design, development, testing, and management.
Our Engineering Mechanics Department is an excellent choice for graduate
study in Engineering Mechanics and for career development in many diverse
fields of engineering. Please feel free to contact me by email
should you have specific questions about our Graduate Program, or you may
