"I developed an interest in fluid mechanics because I was fortunate enough to be taught by great professors who really inspired me," says mechanical engineering Ph.D. student Muhammad Mustafa. That's why he's pursuing a Ph.D. at Stevens.
ME associate professor Chang-Hwan Choi develops technologies to make nanoscale textures and apply them to boats and planes to combat issues like friction, icing and corrosion.
ME assistant professor Mehmet Kurt has developed an imaging technique that captures the brain in real time, providing a promising and long-awaited diagnostic tool for catching difficult-to-spot conditions such as concussions and aneurysm–before they become life threatening.
A dozen Stevens students assembled a race car in less than three months and raced it at a major International Society of Automotive Engineers conference. They blazed a trail for themselves--and for Stevens.
Mechanical engineering seniors Nicole Maetta, Paul Chuquimarca, Luis Flores, Bridget Reed and Emma Sennett-Kuzin teamed up for their senior design project to help a family bathe their disabled son. Here's what they came up with.
One in four student athletes experiences a concussion or mild brain injury during their collegiate career, according to an NCAA survey. ME assistant professor Mehmet Kurt is working to keep those students safe--and that's what he spoke to CBS about.
Most 3D printers aren't equipped to print human cells. Assistant professor Robert Chang created one that can. Here's how it works.
"Design is not about finding one solution from a formula," says Kishore Pochiraju, associate dean for undergraduate studies, "but searching and finding an optimal solution that satisfies all or most of the stakeholders.” That's why he's working with students to revamp the mandatory SES design courses.
Assistant Professor Brendan Englot received a $350,000 award from Schlumberger Technology Corporation via MIT for a three-year research project on “Robust Autonomous Mapping, Navigation and Inspection of Complex Marine Environments.”
"I always appreciated what Stevens did for me," says PME alumnus and adjunct professor Jason Fitz. "I wanted to have the same impact on up-and-coming students that the program had on me." That's why he created the TRAX program at Regeneron to help fellow pharmaceutical manufacturing & engineering graduates.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering educates its students with a broad-based foundation in fundamental engineering principles and liberal arts together with the depth of disciplinary knowledge needed to succeed in a career in mechanical engineering or a related field, including a wide variety of advanced technological and management careers.
