Program Description
The department has two major areas of graduate study: mechanical engineering and materials science. Research efforts in fluid mechanics include unsteady aerodynamic and vortex dominated flows associated with aeroelasticity and aeroacoustics of aircraft and turbomachinery. Research in dynamics includes aeroelasticity, controls, acoustics, adaptive structures and systems, and chaos. Research in biological materials includes cellular structure and mechanics and surface and interfacial phenomena as well as liposome drug delivery materials for treatment of non-metatastic cancers. Other materials research includes electronic materials and nondestructive testing. Heat transfer, robotics, and lubrication are also active research areas. Graduate students in the department work in close collaboration with faculty on state-of-the-art research programs. The low faculty-student ratio provides a close knit scholarly community, and the graduate program is unusually flexible in meeting the needs of individual students. The department operates twenty different laboratories which contain a very large array of equipment and facilities. A broad range of computational equipment is available, including connections to a regional supercomputer.
