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

Graduate students enrolled in the DoGEE 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:

530.334           Heat Transfer (Herman)

530.601           Continuum Mechanics (Molinari)

530.621           Fluid dynamics I (Knio/Meneveau)

530.632           Convection (Prosperetti)

530.659           Computational methods of engineering mathematics (Chirikjian)

530.625           Turbulence (Meneveau)

530.766           Introduction to numerical methods (Knio)

570.657           Air Pollution (Ellis)

570.659           Vadose Zone Hydrology  (Parlange)

570.656           Environmental Transport Phenomena (Parlange)

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 DoGEE requires additional courses according to DoGEE rules.
