Prospective students should have a strong engineering background. For the first year of study, each student is generally required to take at least three regular courses per semester. There are three areas of specialization for graduate studies: dynamics, systems and governance; solid mechanics, design and fabrication; Thermal sciences and fluid dynamics. As part of a specialization, there are unique opportunities to conduct analytical, experimental, and/or numerical studies on a variety of challenging problems. The department offers a combined bachelor`s/master`s program. Contact the Graduate Studies Coordinator for information. Chairman: Mr. Hahn Graduate Studies Coordinator: Mr. Sarntinoranont.
