海军建筑与海洋工程理学硕士

机械工程涉及产品，工艺和功率的负责任开发，其范围从分子到大型复杂系统。在具有活动部件的每个人造物体的概念，设计，开发和制造的某个阶段，都要涉及机械工程原理和技能。对我们的未来至关重要的许多创新都将植根于质量，运动，力和能量的世界，即机械工程师的世界。机械工程是最广泛，用途最广泛的工程专业之一。这反映在机械工程系（MechE）当前活动中，该活动在过去十年中迅速扩展。如今，我们的教师参与了广泛的项目，包括设计坚韧的水凝胶，使用纳米结构表面清洁水和微电子的热管理，开发有效的方法进行鲁棒性设计，建造用于陆地和水下
Mechanical engineering is concerned with the responsible development of products, processes, and power, at scales ranging from molecules to large and complex systems. Mechanical engineering principles and skills are involved at some stage during the conception, design, development, and manufacture of every human-made object with moving parts. Many innovations crucial to our future will have their roots in the world of mass, motion, forces, and energy-the world of mechanical engineers. Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest and most versatile of the engineering professions. This is reflected in the portfolio of current activities in the Department of Mechanical Engineering (MechE), one that has widened rapidly in the past decade. Today, our faculty are involved in a wide range of projects, including designing tough hydrogels, using nanostructured surfaces for clean water and thermal management of microelectronics, developing efficient methods for robust design, the building of robotics for land and underwater exploration, creating optimization methods that autonomously generate decision-making strategies, developing driverless cars, inventing cost-effective photovoltaic cells, developing thermal and electrical energy storage systems, using acoustics to explore the ocean of one of Jupiter's moons, studying the biomimetics of swimming fish for underwater sensing applications, developing physiological models for metastatic cancers, inventing novel medical devices, exploring 3D printing of nanostructures and macrostructures, and developing coatings to create nonstick surfaces. The requirements for each of these three degrees are that the student takes 72 credit units of graduate subjects and complete a thesis.
