The Master of Science in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at The Henry Samueli School of Engineering, University of California Irvine, provides advanced, research-oriented education in mechanical and aerospace engineering. The program covers thrust areas such as dynamics and controls, fluid dynamics and propulsion, mechanics of materials, systems and design, as well as thermal and transport sciences. Students can choose between a thesis track (involving original research) and a comprehensive examination track (with additional coursework and an exam). The curriculum is designed to develop creative and independent researchers prepared for careers in industry or for advanced study at the doctoral level. Research opportunities are supported by internationally recognized faculty and advanced experimental and computational facilities. The faculty's expertise encompasses fields from biorobotics to combustion, aeroacoustics, turbulence, machine learning, and propulsion. 来源： https://engineering.uci.edu/admissions/graduate/programs-and-concentrations/mechanical-and-aerospace-engineering
