Programs

The Heat and Fluids Orientation, a specialized area within the field of Mechanical Engineering, focuses on designing and computing the components of systems that fundamentally operate on energy conversion, heat transfer, and mass transfer. This orientation is integral to the understanding and application of principles that govern the transformation and movement of energy and matter.

Environmental engineering is an interdisciplinary field that necessitates the integration of physical, chemical, and biological principles with engineering methodologies to safeguard and restore the environment. This field amalgamates lessons from diverse disciplines to establish a program with a robust foundation in science and engineering. The Environmental Engineering Science Program emphasizes chemical and biological processes, encompassing areas such as water quality, environmental pollution, remediation and control of hazardous materials, contaminants affecting human health, environmental biotechnology, and environmental conservation. This discipline plays a crucial role in preserving our planet's health and sustainability.

Solid mechanics, a subfield of mechanical engineering, investigates the behavior of materials and their engineering applications through numerical, analytical, and experimental methods. The majority of research in this area focuses on failure analysis, the relationship between structure and material, numerical methods such as the finite element method, and composites.

This discipline represents a specialized branch of engineering that is intimately connected with the production of hydrocarbons, which could be either crude oil or natural gas. The processes of exploration and production are the linchpins of the oil and gas industry. This field is dedicated to the discovery and extraction of these vital resources, playing a crucial role in powering our world and driving numerous sectors of the global economy.

Chemical Engineering, a field often pursued through national mathematics competitions, has piqued the interest of many chemistry enthusiasts. However, due to limited exposure to the discipline at the university level, there are few courses directly related to this field. Success in Chemical Engineering requires a robust foundation in mathematics. If you possess strong mathematical skills, particularly in solving equations and performing calculations, you would likely find this field both challenging and rewarding.
