Program Description
The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers programs leading to the MS and PhD degrees. Superior students may be admitted for graduate study directly from the bachelor's to the doctoral degree.
Students specialize in applied mechanics, combustion, computational mechanics, control theory, design, fluid dynamics, fluid physics, heat transfer, manufacturing processes, robotics, tribology, and other disciplines. They arrange their study and research in association with the various interdepartmental and special programs associated with the Center for Manufacturing Engineering, the Center for Surface Engineering and Tribology, the Center for Quality Engineering and Failure Prevention, and the Program in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics.
Graduate students are not required to follow a rigid curriculum; each student may arrange a curriculum that accommodates individual needs, talents, and interests. Students plan their programs so that they develop a rigorous appreciation of mathematics and the other branches of engineering and science.
Applicants should contact the program or see Web site www.mech.northwestern.edu/ to learn about program-specific requirements for admission.
