动态系统和控制是德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校机械工程系的一个主要技术领域。动态系统和控制领域着重于设计和控制工程系统和自然系统的原理和方法。广泛的观点启发了一种创新的工程应用方法，涉及包含多个具有交互作用的高能设备或过程的系统，这些设备或过程具有广泛的时空尺度。
In the Walker Department of Mechanical Engineering, we design and build devices and systems that transform industries and improve lives around the world. A pioneer in areas such as robotics and advanced manufacturing, Texas Mechanical Engineering is the birthplace of selective laser sintering, one of the first and most successful 3D-printing technologies. Our undergraduate and graduate programs are consistently recognized as the best in the nation, leading the way in mechanical engineering education and innovation. Every stage of our students academic journey is filled with experiential learning opportunities from initiatives like our Freshman Introduction to Research in Engineering to our Senior Design Projects. Students learn how to think creatively and work collaboratively inside and outside of the classroom, taking theoretical ideas and testing them in real-world situations.<br>Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest engineering disciplines, which is exemplified in our robust curriculum, though which students will develop a strong understanding of mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics and energy. Students will use these skills to design and analyze everything from heating and cooling systems to medical devices. We are consistently ranked as one of the top programs in the United States and our graduates are equipped to go into a variety of fields, including technology, engineering, business, government and more. The mechanical engineering graduate program is designed to educate and advance the next generation of mechanical engineering leaders, innovators who will transform energy, materials and information to meet the needs of society.<br>The Dynamic Systems & Control area focuses on principles and methods for designing and controlling engineered and natural systems. A broad-based perspective inspires a creative engineering approach to applications involving systems comprised of multiple interacting energetic devices or processes having a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. Specific areas of concentration that contribute to this effort include acoustics, applied mechanics, bioengineering, computational sciences, constitutive behavior and design of materials, electromechanics, control and information theory, multibody dynamics, and system dynamics. Typical application areas include novel transducer designs, biomechanics at the cellular and human scale, dynamics and control of power and vehicle systems, and innovations in signal and information theory. Graduates from this program may be found in the automotive and aerospace industries as well as in national research laboratories and start-up industries.
