The other option core courses can also be replaced by either "ME 502
Advanced Engineering Mathematics II" (if ME 501 is taken as the Math course) or
"ME 503 Mechanics of Continua I" as a substitute.
In addition to the core course requirement, students are required to complete
a minimum of 6 credits ifrom their option’s elective courses. Option courses are
listed here for both the M.S. and Ph.D. [Link] addition to the required and
option courses, the students have to take the non-credit seminar course: ME

Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Program
The Ph.D. program in Mechanical Engineering includes a minimum of 21 credits
of course work and Ph.D. thesis carried out according to regulations of the
Institute. The required courses for the program are:
ME 501 and ME 502 Advanced Engineering Mathematics I and II
Students who have previously taken one of these courses or its equivalent are
required to take the second course. Those who have taken either one or both of
these courses, or their equivalents may instead take elective courses approved
by their advisor and the [Link].D. students are required to identify a Major

field, which corresponds to one of the five Mechanical Engineering options
listed above. Three courses for the Major field are chosen among courses not
taken in the M.S. program. Subject to the approval of the Advisor, a Minor field,
consisting of a sequence of two courses, is also determined. Students
complete their course requirement with an elective course complementing
their Ph.D. program.
Requirements for the Ph.D. degree: (minimum course requirement)
3 "Major" courses
2 "Minor" courses
