Engineering Mechanics
The Foundation of Mechanical Sciences
One Program, Many Applications
BEAM's Engineering Mechanics (EM) program is strongly rooted in physics and mathematics, the basis of all mechanical sciences, and provides unique, interdisciplinary opportunities for research on design projects with far-reaching impact.
We offer a Ph.D in engineering mechanics as well as a Master's of Science (M.S.) degree with a thesis option and a non-thesis option.
Engineering Mechanics graduate students can be advised by any member of the BEAM Teaching and Research Faculty or any member of the many Engineering Mechanics Affiliate Faculty.
The EM program supports extensive and robust research activities in a number of distinct areas. The four core research areas of our program are biomechanics, dynamics and control, fluid mechanics, and solid mechanics.
