Fundamental Areas

FLUID MECHANICS
Fluid mechanics is the branch of science concerned with the mechanics of fluids (liquids, gases, and plasmas) and the forces on them.

SOLID MECHANICS
Study the behavior of solid materials, especially their motion and deformation under the action of forces, temperature changes, phase changes, and other external or internal agents.

THERMO AND HEAT TRANSFER
Thermo and Heat Transfer research concerns the generation, use, conversion, and exchange of thermal energy and physical systems.

APPLIED PHYSICS
Applied Physics is the application of physical theories to problem-solving.

CHEMISTRY
Branch of science focused on the identification of the substances of which matter is composed; the investigation of their properties and the ways in which they interact, combine, and change; and the use of these processes to form new substances. 

DYNAMICS AND CONTROLS
This interdisciplinary branch of engineering and mathematics deals, in part, with influencing the behavior of dynamical systems.

COMPUTATION AND APPLIED MATH
The intersection of applied mathematics, numerical computation, applications of systems, and mechanical sciences.
