Thesis, nonthesis, or management plans are available. The department also offers students an area of concentration for interdisciplinary graduate studies with specialization in solid/structural mechanics, control systems, and energy/power systems. A student may also develop a self-directed/career-oriented program of study. The technical concentration plan is for students who seek to deepen their theoretical knowledge and strengthen their ability to solve more advanced engineering problems, while the management plan is for those who wish to include managerial training in their program of preparation. The three specialized areas of interdisciplinary studies allow students to focus on specialized areas that require interdisciplinary cooperation among the Departments of Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Chemical Engineering. The Department of Mechanical Engineering has excellent computer and laboratory facilities that provide for the following design and research capabilities: solid modeling, FEA in stress analysis, structural dynamics and heat transfer, experimental stress analysis, vibrations and noise control, computational and experimental heat transfer and fluid dynamics, and advanced machine design.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees undergraduate degree  Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: None Required Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: 2.75 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: 416  # of Students Enrolled Part Time: 776  Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit: $414  Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition: $7443  Financial Aid Offered: Yes  Average Work Experience:   Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year: Semester  Placement Percentage:   Historically Black:   Religious Affiliation: Not applicable
