Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest engineering disciplines—offering opportunities to specialize in areas such as robotics, aerospace, automotive engineering, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), biomechanics, and more. Mechanical engineers design, develop, build, and test.

Mechanics

• A basic requirement for the study of the mechanics of deformable bodies and the mechanics of fluids (advanced courses). Essential for the design and analysis of many types of structural members, mechanical components, electrical devices, etc, encountered in engineering



Thermodynamics

• Mechanical engineering thermodynamics is a subfield of engineering that studies the principles of heat transfer, energy and the interrelationships with work, power and mechanical processes. It helps engineers design systems and processes that convert energy from one form to another in an efficient way.



Materials Science

• Materials Science and Mechanical Engineering at Harvard School of Engineering ranges from fundamental work in solid and fluid mechanics to diverse studies in materials, mechanical systems, and biomechanics. Characterizing the performance of such systems often depends on understanding behavior at several scales, requiring, for example, the mechanics of dislocations and other imperfections, grain boundaries, interfaces, and material heterogeneity.



Fluid Mechanics

• Fluid mechanics studies the systems with fluid such as liquid or gas under static and dynamics loads. Fluid mechanics is a branch of continuous mechanics, in which the kinematics and mechanical behavior of materials are modeled as a continuous mass rather than as discrete particles.



Manufacturing Processes

• Manufacturing is the process of turning raw materials or parts into finished goods through the use of tools, human labor, machinery, and chemical processing.The major steps in the manufacturing process include design and conceptualization, selection and procurement of raw materials, processing and transformation, assembly and construction, quality control and testing, and packaging and distribution



Mechatronics

• Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary field that refers to the skill sets needed in the contemporary, advanced automated manufacturing industry. At the intersection of mechanics, electronics, and computing, mechatronics specialists create simpler, smarter systems. Mechatronics is an essential foundation for the expected growth in automation and manufacturing.



Biomedical Engineering

• The purpose of the Biomedical Mechanical Engineering program is to graduate engineers proficient in the areas of biomedical science related to mechanical engineering. These engineers specialize in areas that include the following: design of artificial hearts, implants, prostheses, and other medical devices, development and selection of bio-compatible metallic and non metallic materials for implants and medical equipment, robotics for medical applications and biomechanics and rehabilitation engineering.
