These tentative course sequences reflect my research interests and education philosophy. All sequences exceed the minimum course requirements as designated by the University, however their completion is necessary to be an effective researcher in our laboratory. Of course, some alterations are possible depending on the students previous background and interests and the nature of the research project. All of the sequences satisfy the requirements for the Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) option.
The Masters options leave one with a broad background in mechanical design with either a controls or mechanics specialization. The graduate of these programs will be able to design/analyze a wide variety of mechanical gadgets. Completion of the Ph.D. sequences will leave the student with a sound foundation which they can use to pursue their future research endeavors.
