To deal with such complex and often multidisciplinary problems, the engineer must have a thorough knowledge of analytical, computational, and experimental methods and a deep understanding of underlying physical principles. To achieve this level of understanding, graduate curricula in Mechanics and Computation are offered which include core work in solids, fluids and computational mechanics, dynamics, fracture and biomechanics. Course work is supplemented with research in the student’s specialized area of interest.

===Solid Mechanics Depth Sequence===
 +
Taking three courses from the following list satisfies the ''Solid Mechanics''' depth requirement in Mechanical Engineering.
 +
 +
* Mechanics (ME 333A)
 +
* Mechanics (ME 333B)
 +
* Mechanics (ME 333C)
 +
* Finite Element Analysis (ME 335A)
 +
* Finite Element Analysis (ME 335B)
 +
* Finite Element Analysis (ME 335C)
 +
 +
===Breadth: ===
 +
*If depth is Solid Mechanics, select two courses from any other areas
 +
*If depth is in an area other than Solid Mechanics, the courses above <i>and</i> ME346AB may be taken as <i>breadth courses</i> in Solid Mechanics.

===ME395 Seminar series===
 +
A series of [[Seminar_Schedule|seminars]] on topics related to research in the mechanics and computation group is offered every quarter.
