In the Mechanical Engineering graduate program there are two main areas of emphasis: (1) material mechanics and (2) thermal sciences. You are challenged to investigate materials processing, materials simulation and process control using perspectives ranging from fundamental physical underpinnings to industrial applications. The program addresses the real-world problems of advanced engineering and technology. Research in conjunction with course offerings prepares you to become a leader in industry, academia and government.
Competitive financial support packages (including stipend, health insurance and full tuition) are available to qualified candidates in the form of research assistantships (RAs), fellowships, and teaching assistantships (TAs). Applicants seeking financial support should indicate so within the online application. In addition to applying, applicants interested in support should contact the faculty members whose research interests parallel their own. Though not mandatory, applicants are encouraged to submit the application by the deadline to insure priority consideration for fall semester financial support.
Degree Programs
- Master of Science in Engineering - Mechanical (thesis and non-thesis)
- Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering - Mechanical
Research
Research and teaching within the mechanical engineering program tends to focus within the following areas:
- Solid mechanics
- Thermal/fluid sciences
- Robotics and computer-aided manufacturing
- Process control
- Computational engineering
- Biomechanics
Additionally, there are four research thrusts in which the division is involved in aggressive program building:
- Fuel cell technology through the Colorado Fuel Cell Center
- Nano-sciences
- Robotic manufacturing
- Biomechanics
Western Regional Graduate Program
The M.S. and Ph.D. programs in the Division of Engineering are participants in the Western Regional Graduate Program (WRGP). Residents of Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming are eligible to enroll in our Civil Engineering Systems graduate program at resident tuition rates. Students do not have to meet specific financial criteria, but they must meet all admissions requirements and deadlines set by the institution. All students who indicate residency of one of the WRGP states on the admission application will automatically be included in this program.
