Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics

General Information

The field of mechanical engineering is rapidly changing due to advances in materials, manufacturing, and communication. Mechanical engineers must possess diverse interdisciplinary skills, including an understanding of the global, entrepreneurial and managerial abilities, and teamwork skills.

The Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics (MEM) Department offers Graduate work is offered on both a full-time and a part-time basis. The majority of courses are scheduled in the late afternoon and evening, so part-time students can take courses together with full-time students. The General (Aptitude) Test of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is required for applicants pursuing full-time study.

The department has adopted the Graduate Co-op program at the master’s level.
