...In the years that followed the
department continued its sucess in the education of both
undergraduate and graduate students, performing cutting
edge research and collaborating with many institutions.
These activities centered around and continue to center
around the
traditional areas of mechanical engineering and materials
engineering: fluid mechanics, heat transfer, solid mechanics,
dynamics and vibrations, control systems and robotics,
solid thermodynamics, materials design and characterization,
and thin film processing.
Today
the department is involved in wide-ranging interdisciplinary
work at the frontiers of science and knowledge. Collaboration
with other departments, institutes, and colleges is
commonplace. It's not uncommon to find faculty working
with NASA to develop the next generation of space vehicles
or interacting with the Baylor College of Medicine to
develop new, groundbreaking orthopedic materials.
As
new fields emerge, the MEMS faculty will be at the forefront
pursuing research in robotics, neural networks, computational
fluid mechanics, bioengineering, nanotechnology, and thin-film
technology.
