The program demands academic rigor and depth, yet also addresses the real-world problems of advanced engineering and technology. The choice of research topics and course offerings prepares graduates for a range of industrial or academic careers. Research Research and teaching within the mechanical engineering program tends to focus within the following areas: * Solid mechanics * Thermal/fluid sciences * Robotics and computer-aided manufacturing * Process control * Computational engineering * Biomechanics Additionally, there are four research thrusts in which the division is involved in aggressive program building: * Fuel cell technology * Nano-sciences * Robotic manufacturing * Biomechanics Degree Programs Within the mechanical engineering specialty, there are two emphasis areas: (1) material mechanics and (2) thermal sciences. Materials processing, materials simulation and process control are investigated from perspectives ranging from fundamental physical underpinnings to industrial application. Students are required to complete a set of core classes intended to prepare them for both theoretical and experimental aspects of research in the mechanical sciences. The program has strong ties to the chemical engineering, materials science and physics communities, and students will typically take courses in one or more of these areas after completing the core course requirements. The core program consists of nine credit hours of the following courses: * EGGN 501 - Advanced Engineering Measurements (4 credits) * EGGN 502 - Interdisciplinary Modeling and Simulation (4 credits) * EGGN 504 - Engineering Systems (Mechanical) Seminar (1 credit)     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees The requirements for admission for the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in engineering systems are a Baccalaureate degree in engineering, computer science, a physical science, or math with a grade-point average over 3.0/4.0  Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time: 476  # of Students Enrolled Part Time: 750  Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit: $1130  Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition: $20340  Financial Aid Offered: Yes  Average Work Experience: Less than 1 Year  Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year:   Placement Percentage:   Historically Black: No   Religious Affiliation: Not applicable
