R.C. Aldredge, H.A. Dwyer, I.M. Kennedy, W. Kollmann, B.D. Shaw. Heat Transfer, Thermodynamics, and Energy Systems. This specialization emphasizes the fundamentals of heat transfer and thermodynamics and their application to the design of advanced engineering systems. The program introduces students to the fundamental processes of heat transfer and thermodynamics in complex engineering systems so that they are able to design more efficient, cost effective, and reliable systems with less environmental pollution and impact.

Manufacturing is the process of converting raw materials into products.
A major activity of mechanical engineers is studying and working with various production methods and techniques, integrating creative design activities into actual fabricated products. Computer-oriented manufacturing is also an emphasis of the program. A manufacturing engineer will have a solid background in manufacturing processes and systems as well as in statistics, design, controls and applications of microprocessors. Systems Dynamics and Control. Engineers are increasingly concerned with the performance of integrated dynamics systems in which it is not possible to optimize component parts without considering the overall system.
