Overview

The degree requirements include a specified number of course credits; however, there are no requirements on the specific courses that are to be taken. This provides the flexibility for each student, in consultation with the major professor and program of study committee, to choose courses that create a degree that best fits education and career goals for the student and the requirements for the research.

The Engineering Mechanics program at Iowa State University bases this flexibility on the exceptional faculty who will mentor graduate students through graduate school and help launch exciting and productive careers.
