从航空航天，计算机和汽车到建筑，机器人技术和能源系统，机械工程师在许多领域处于创新的最前沿。该计划可帮助您从广阔的前景中形成潜在机会的全景图，并提供您需要在该领域打出自己的烙印的各种研究经验。您将建模，设计和引导实验，以验证热系统，机械系统，组件或过程，同时考虑现实世界中的约束条件以及您的解决方案可能对社会造成的影响。您也可以与教师一起从事行业赞助的研究。例如，学生为美国政府，美国国家航空航天局（NASA）和惠普，General Atomics和Battelle等私营公司的研究做出了贡献。
From aerospace, computers and automotives, to construction, robotics and energy systems, mechanical engineers are on the forefront of innovation in a many fields.<br><br>This program helps you form big-picture perspective of potential opportunities in the broad discipline and provides the diverse research experiences you will need to make your own mark on the field. You will model, design and lead experiments to verify thermal systems, mechanical systems, components or processes, while considering real-world constraints and the impact your solution may have on society.<br><br>You may also work alongside faculty on industry-sponsored research. For example, students have contributed to research for departments of the U.S. government, NASA, and for private companies, like Hewlett-Packard, General Atomics and Battelle.
