The Department of Mechanical Engineering is one of 14 departments in the Texas A&M University College of Engineering (the biggest college on the Texas A&M campus). Among public institutions in the nation, our undergraduate and graduate programs are each currently ranked 8th.

Through the curriculum, our department strives to prepare our undergraduate and graduate students for careers in traditional mechanical engineering fields, as well as careers in cross-disciplined areas in research, academia and industry.

We also pride ourselves on our research. Our faculty’s research expertise includes thermal and fluid sciences; materials and manufacturing; mechanics and design; and systems and controls.

R e s e a r c hThe Department of Mechanical Engineering’s research encompasses a wealth of mechanical engineering disciplines. The department houses both state-of-the-art turbomachinery and energy systems laboratories. Active research efforts within the department are in the areas of combustion, energy systems mechanics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, polymers, systems and controls, tribology and turbomachinery. Federal, state and industrial sources support the department’s research. Federal funding sources include National Science Foundation, Department of Energy, NASA, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Naval Research, U.S. Army and Air Force Office of Scientific Research. Various industries sponsor their research through turbomachinery and polymers consortiums.
