The Department of Mechanical Engineering at WPI was established in 1868 and the first student graduated in 1871. Currently, the department is home to 650 undergraduate students and 110 graduate students. Housed in the Higgins Laboratories and the Washburn Shops, the faculty consists of 29 tenured and tenure track professors, and several non-tenure track teaching staff. The department offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in mechanical engineering and manufacturing engineering and graduate degrees in material science. Research in the Department of Mechanical Engineering is diverse and students are directly exposed to the multidisciplinary nature of modern mechanical engineering. Current research activity includes theoretical, numerical, and experimental work in rarefied gas and plasma dynamics, electric propulsion, multiphase flows, turbulent flows, fluid-structure interactions, structural analysis, nonlinear dynamics and control, random vibrations, biomechanics, microgravity combustion, materials processing, mechanics of granular materials, laser holography, MEMS, and engineering design. Funding is provided by a wide range of government and industry sources. The department is the home of the Metal Processing Institute, which is an industry/university consortium with approximately 180 dues-paying member companies.
