Mechanical Engineering faces dramatic challenges due to rapidly changing technologies and a new pattern of societal and industrial demands. The vision of the PhD Program is to meet these challenges and exceed the expectations of its constituents by focusing on the following:
- Development of a productive research program through a strategic focus on technology, development in emerging areas such as thermal power, mechanical design, alternative energy and production engineering
- A high quality program in tune to the needs of the program’s constituents; the students, employers, faculty
- Healthy enrollment that facilitates diversification of curriculum and faculty research and professional development
- Become proficient in their focus area core courses and research
- Produce high quality research and communicate their research clearly and concisely
