Overview

This Mechanical Engineering PhD program from University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) aims to train engineering scientists who will devote their professional careers to the development of fundamental knowledge and technology from which applications will emerge.

Career opportunities:

Mechanical Engineering is one of the oldest and broadest engineering disciplines. Traditionally, a Mechanical Engineer would be the expert in the production and usage of heat and mechanical power which are critical in the design, production and operation of machinery.

Today, Mechanical Engineers have taken on an expansive and critical role across all fields — from automobiles to energy to medical devices — and in the advancement of new technologies, such nano-technologies and MEMS (MicroElectroMechanicalSystems)

Programme Structure

Supplementary courses are intended to round out a student’s overall program of study and can be used to define a secondary area of study, to pursue a useful but un-focused study, and/or to gain credit for further mathematics courses. Supplementary courses should be primarily from one of the thematic areas within the Mechanical Engineering Department.

However, courses from other departments in the College of Engineering and from other branches of the physical, mathematical, or biological sciences may also be included to round out a student’s overall program of study.

All courses from outside the Mechanical Engineering Department must have prior approval of the student’s academic advisor and the Graduate Program Director.
