The Department of Mechanical Engineering has an outstanding and dedicated faculty with expertise and research interests in the areas of advanced manufacturing, bioengineering and biological systems, combustion and new engine design, design optimization, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, hybrid & electric vehicles, materials processing, mechanics and vibration, nanotechnology, renewable energy, and control systems. The faculty actively engaged in the frontiers of research and technologies in real-world engineering challenges in the above areas.
The department offers graduate programs of study that lead to various graduate certificates and 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 Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.).
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.
