Here are some of the courses you’ll take to earn your Mechanical Engineering Ph.D.
GR
3 credits
Continuum hypothesis, forces and stress fields, displacement and strain fields, governing field laws, applications to fluid, solid and magnetofluid mechanics, electrodynamics, electro- and thermoviscoelasticity.
GR
3 credits
Conceptual and mathematical models for the transport of contaminants in natural systems. Primary attention given to contaminant transport in aquifers, with secondary attention given to transport in the unsaturated zone, in the atmosphere, and at the water atmosphere boundary.
GR
3 credits
Applications of stable and radioactive isotopes for solving environmental and low-temperature geologic problems. Problems that will be addressed include measurement techniques and limitations, tracing the origin of water and contaminants in natural systems, applications for global climate change and paleoclimates, quantifying infiltration and groundwater travel rates, and age dating of water.
