Programs
The Institute offers both Master (M.S.,) and Doctoral (Ph. D.,) degree programs. These graduate programs emphasize theoretical and experimental aspects of applied mechanics. Students are admitted from all disciplines of engineering and science. Approximately 77 masters, 16 doctoral, and a few foreign students are admitted each year. A total of roughly 1490 masters and 200 doctoral students have graduated thus far.
The Master Degree Program
Masters students are required to complete 27 credits and write an original thesis. The course work includes: Electronics Lab., Applied Mechanics Lab. I, and Applied Math. I. In addition, one out of three courses of Dynamics, Elasticity and Fluid Mechanics are repuired.
The Doctoral Degree Program
Doctoral course work requires Applied Mechanics Lab. II and Electronics Lab., with a total of 18 credits plus four Institute seminars. A doctoral candidate has to publish papers in SCI journals ( or get SCI paper-accepted letter) prior to PhD thesis defense.
