Graduate Programs in Mechanical Engineering
The Department of Mechanical Engineering has an outstanding and up-to-date engineering faculty with expertise and research interests in the areas of advanced manufacturing, biomechanics, composites, computational fluid dynamics, computer-aided design, computer-aided manufacturing, combustion, controls, elasticity, fluid mechanics, finite element analysis, fracture, heat transfer, renewable energy, mechatronics, advanced vehicle tech., battery, fuel, cell, robotics, solid and structural mechanics, stress analysis, and turbomachinery.
The department offers graduate programs of study that lead to the degrees of Master Science (M.S.), Master of Science in Engineering (M.S.E.), Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (M.S.M.E.), and Ph.D. The program leading to the Ph.D. in mechanical engineering is jointly administered with the School of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University, West Lafayette.
The department also offers combined bachelor's and master's degree programs, in which students can receive both B.S. and M.S. degrees in five years at IUPUI. These degree programs are open to qualified undergraduates at IUPUI, leading to either: 1) B.S. and M.S.M.E. degrees (B.S./M.S.M.E.) for mechanical engineering undergraduates, or 2) a B.S. degree in physics and an M.S. degree in mechanical engineering (B.P.M.M.E.) for physics undergraduates. The combined degrees prepare students for advanced engineering careers with two degrees (bachelor's and master's) in five years.
