机械工程系提供两个硕士学位课程和一个博士学位课程。该部门课程中的课程工作和研究可能涉及机械工程的广泛基础知识，或者可能集中于以下一个或多个领域：能源系统，制造和材料系统以及机械系统。在这些领域中，工程原理不仅适用于传统设备和方法，还适用于现代和新兴技术。通常，通过实验室研究来增加工程课程的工作和研究。尽管在所有学习计划中都必须学习高级工程数学和基础科学，但是根据专业领域和学生的专业目标，学科的选择可能会有所不同。
Deepen your knowledge of the fundamentals of analysis, design, manufacture and improvement of machines. Engineering principles are applied not only to traditional equipment and methods but also to modern and emerging technologies. Typically, the engineering course work and research are augmented by laboratory studies. Although the study of advanced engineering mathematics and, often, basic science is necessary in all programs of study, the selection of subjects may vary depending upon the field of specialization and the student's professional objectives. A doctoral student must complete a program of study prepared in collaboration with their permanent adviser. This program of study is outlined on an approved Doctoral Program Planning Form which must be submitted within the first year of the student's doctoral studies. Apply knowledge of advanced concepts (i.e., concepts beyond those learned during the master of science program) in engineering mathematics and two out of three areas of specializations offered in the department (mechanical systems, energy systems, manufacturing and materials systems). Communicate ideas (specific to an area of specialization) via peer reviewed published and/or presented materials. Conduct original research in a chosen area of specialization.
