工程与应用科学学院的机械工程系提供研究生课程，从而获得科学硕士学位和哲学博士学位。该系提供涵盖设计和制造，固体力学，热科学和流体力学的广泛课程。
The Department of Mechanical Engineering, in the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences, offers graduate work leading to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. The department offers a broad curriculum with concentrations in Design and Manufacturing, Solid Mechanics, and Thermal Sciences and Fluid Mechanics. Mechanical Engineering is one of the traditional engineering disciplines and is also at the forefront of modern technological innovations. Stony Brook places a strong emphasis on graduate programs that produce individuals with competent backgrounds in the basic principles and who are prepared for industrial research and development positions, university faculty posts, and leadership roles in government agencies. Students can choose one of three areas of concentration: mechanical design, solid mechanics, and thermal sciences and fluid mechanics. They can then focus on experimental, analytical, or computational aspect-or any combination of these aspects. Our graduate program is flexible: many graduate courses are offered in the late afternoon or evening and part-time graduate students have no difficulty in selecting these courses to earn their degrees.
