Overview
Mechanical Engineering students at University of California, Merced regularly engage in innovative research that crosses disciplines. Our faculty and students actively seek to uncover new knowledge in a range of research topics including controls, fluid dynamics, thermal science, plasma engineering, heat transfer, design, tribology, mechatronics and energy conversion and storage.
Educational Objectives:
- To provide a solid background on the pertinent mathematical, physical, chemical and engineering concepts that make up the foundations of the broad disciplines of mechanical engineering and applied mechanics, as well as on their closely associated fields;
- To provide our students with the knowledge to correctly apply natural laws to the creative formulation and solution of engineering problems through the use of analytical, computational and experimental techniques;
- To expand the reach of research in mechanical engineering and applied mechanics to non-traditional areas by continually seeking to incorporate new methodologies and research findings to our graduate curriculum.
