康涅狄格大學機械工程

The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers degree programs leading to both a Master of Science (M.S.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree. Degree programs are offered in two areas of concentration:
Systems and Mechanics: includes theories of elasticity, plasticity, stability, wave propagation, material behavior, linear and nonlinear vibrations, automatic control, fracture mechanics, micro- and nanomechanics, damage mechanics, computational geometry, computer-aided design/manufacturing, kinematics and dynamics of mechanisms, robotics, optimal design, digital signal processing, machining and metal removal, and composite material design and processing. Thermal and Fluid Sciences: includes classical and statistical theories of thermodynamics and studies of conduction, convection, radiation, inviscid and viscous flows, compressible and heated flows, combustion, laminar, turbulent, and two-phase flows. Engineering applications including the design and analysis of many systems, processes and devices, such as high-speed combustion systems, thermal manufacturing of advanced materials, energy systems including emerging areas such as fuel cells, and enhanced heat transfer devices such as heat pipes.
