Degrees granted. The department offers the B.S. in both Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Aerospace Engineering and in Engineering Mechanics.
Research focus. In 1981, a Center of Excellence in fluid dynamics was awarded. In 1988, the Department won an Ohio Eminent Scholar Chair in the experimental fluid mechanics area. Through the Ohio Board of Regents Research Challenge Funds, the Institute of Computational Mechanics was established to carry out multidisciplinary research. At the graduate level, there is a strong emphasis on numerical methods in the area of computational mechanics.
