School of Mechanical Engineering
Overview
Mechanical Engineering is, simply, applying engineering principles to machines that have movement. If you think that sounds all-encompassing, well, you’re right. Mechanical Engineering is the broadest of all Engineering majors, and their students can do just about anything because they have a broad understanding of the principles of physics, design, thermodynamics, and control systems.
In the job world, you can take these skills to almost any industry. Many Mechanical Engineering students end up in the automotive or manufacturing industries, but many also pursue biotech, law, renewable energy, electronics, or any number of emerging industries. NASA loves Purdue students, and many mechanical engineers find places in the aerospace and defense industries. And some ME graduates don’t go into engineering at all but use their problem-solving skills to start a business or go into sales or management. The foundational know-how of Mechanical Engineering will serve you, wherever in the world you choose to go.
Academic Programs:
Masters and Ph.D. Programs:
With a graduate degree in Mechanical Engineering, you’ll conduct world-class research at unmatched facilities, with close support from faculty and industry. You’ll master the skills necessary to innovate at nearly any field: from fuel pumps to heart pumps. Carbon fiber to carbon nanotubes. Solid rockets to soft robotics.
- M.S. in Mechanical Eng.; Ph.D
Concentrations (Areas of Study):
-
With a graduate degree from Purdue University, you’ll conduct world-class mechanical engineering research, with close support from faculty and industry. You’ll master the skills necessary to innovate at nearly any field: from fuel pumps to heart pumps. Carbon fiber to carbon nanotubes. Solid rockets to soft robotics. You can get your Masters of Science, a Ph.D., a 5-year combined BSME/MSME, or even a fully online MSME. Research areas include:
- Acoustics
- Bioengineering
- Combustion
- Computational Engineering
- Design
- Fluid Mechanics
- Heat Transfer
- HVAC & Refrigeration
- Manufacturing & Materials
- Mechanics & Vibration
- Nanotechnology
- Robotics
- Solid Mechanics
- Systems, Measurement, & Controls
- Acoustics Bioengineering Combustion Computational Engineering Design Fluid Mechanics Heat Transfer HVAC & Refrigeration Manufacturing & Materials Mechanics & Vibration Nanotechnology Robotics Solid Mechanics Systems, Measurement, & Controls
Combined Degree Programs: (Undergraduate Degree / Master’s Degree)
The Combined BSME/MSME Program is an integrated five-year degree program in which
qualified students can receive a BS and an MS in Mechanical Engineering. The program
provides a seamless transition from the BS to MS programs for Purdue students where
graduate courses taken as undergraduate electives are counted toward both the BS and MS
degrees, thereby reducing the overall time required for the MS degree. This program is only
available at the West Lafayette campus.
