Program Requirements
Enrollment in the MS and PhD programs is open to students with degrees in physics, applied mathematics, or any branch of engineering.
Students in the MS degree program may choose the thesis or non-thesis option. Students in the thesis program must complete 30 credit hours of coursework, including six hours of thesis research and write a thesis. Students in the non-thesis program must complete 33 credit hours of coursework. Students in the PhD program must pass a qualifying exam, complete 18 hours of dissertation research and defend a dissertation.
Programs may be selected with concentrations in mechanical and manufacturing systems design (design, dynamics, vibrations, and control, materials and manufacturing), thermal/fluid sciences (computational fluid dynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, thermodynamics and energy systems), or engineering mechanics (solid mechanics, composite materials, numerical computation methods and experimental methods).
