Among
the
subjects
taught
and
researched
by
the
faculty
of
the
mechanical
engineering
program
are
the
following:
aerospace,
vibrations
and
acoustics,
heat
transfer,
fluid
flow
(and
computational
fluid
dynamics),
environmental
transport
processes,
multiphase
flow,
energy
conservation
and
conversion
technologies,
alternative
energy
including
solar
power,
automatic
control,
robotics,
biomedical
engineering,
nuclear
engineering,
structural
properties
of
engineering
materials,
and
composites.
Graduate
students
have
access
to
all
departmental
laboratories
and
equipment
as
well
as
the
facilities
of
the
National
Supercomputing
Center
for
Energy
and
the
Environment.
The
department
supports
numerous
networked
workstations.
The
laboratories
of
the
department
include
an
extensive
acoustics
and
vibrations
facility,
a
thermal-fluids
capability,
a full
array
of
mechanical
testing
machines,
measurement
and
control
laboratory,
and
a low-moderate
speed
wind
tunnel.
A unique
laboratory
also
exists
for
full-scale
testing
of
ducts
and
diffusers,
including
indoor
air
quality
and
HVAC
equipment.
In
addition
to
a recently
established
material
performance
laboratory,
several
faculty
members
are
developing
and
testing
different
designs
of
solar
power
generators.
Graduate enrollment has recently experienced significant growth.
We hope that you can come and grow with us. For any enquiry, please
