Sample curriculum: Ph.D. in Mathematical Sciences and non-thesis M.S.E. in Mechanical Engineering

Graduate students enrolled in the Mathematical Sciences Ph.D. program can apply to receive M.S.E. in Mechanical Engineering after fulfilling the requirements of a non-thesis based Masters in Mechanical Engineering, i.e. they must successfully complete a coordinated sequence of ten courses with special emphasis in fluid mechanics and engineering mechanics.

Possible sequence of courses would include:

530.328           Fluid Mechanics II (Meneveau)

530.334           Heat Transfer (Herman)

530.601           Continuum Mechanics (Molinari)

530.621           Fluid dynamics I (Knio/Meneveau)

530.632           Convection (Prosperetti)

530.639           Scientific Computing (Chen)

530.625           Turbulence (Meneveau)

550.491           Applied Analysis For Engineers And Scientists

550.682           Numerical Analysis

550.723           Markov Chains

With these (or equivalent set) courses the student can petition the ME Department for award of a M.S.E. degree in Mechanical Engineering.

Completion of Ph.D. thesis in Mathematical Sciences requires additional courses according to Mathematical Sciences Department’s rules.
