| The Mechanical & Materials
Engineering (MME) Department at Florida International
University (FIU) offers a curriculum which
is designed to give our students a thorough
understanding of the basic laws of science
and to stimulate and develop creative thinking,
a professional attitude, economic judgment
and environmental consciousness. The aim is
to develop the students’ potential to
the fullest, to prepare the students for superior
performance as engineers, and to provide the
students with the fundamental principles necessary
for pursuing advanced study in the diverse
fields of engineering, science and business |
| |
The Department of Mechanical
and Materials Engineering (MME) offers BS,
MS, and Ph.D. degrees in Mechanical Engineering
and MS and PhD degrees in Materials Science
and Engineering. Mechanical and materials
engineering are, and will be, of critical
importance in areas as diverse as space exploration,
environmental control, defense, energy issues,
transportation and bioengineering. Our MME
Department is a home to several prominent
research facilities:
CESMEC - Center for the Study of Matter
under Extreme Conditions specializing in developing
and testing new materials for ultra high temperatures
and pressures.
AMERI - Advanced Materials Engineering
Research Institute specializing in nano-technology,
nano-fabrication, biosensors, carbon nanotubes
and nanowires, micro fuel cells and batteries,
electronic materials, ceramics, polymers,
biomaterials, metals and alloys, and composite
materials.
MAIDROC - Multidisciplinary Analysis,
Inverse Design, Robust Optimization and Control
Laboratory with its 128-processor parallel computer emphasizing
computational interdisciplinary integration
of fields involving fluid mechanics/aerodynamics,
heat transfer, stress/deformation fields,
electromagnetics, and chemistry.
BEECS - Building Energy, Environment
and Conservation Systems Laboratory providing a unique Air-Conditioning
Educational Certificate program offered to
traditional and non-traditional students who
wish to pursue their engineering careers in
heating/ventilation and air conditioning related
industries.
Plasma Deposition Laboratory provides excellent
experimental research facilities for hot and
cold plasma deposition, thermal barrier coating,
anti-corrosion coating, bulk metallic glasses
manufacturing and characterization. |

The Engineering Accreditation
Commission of the Accreditation Board for
Engineering and Technology (EAC/ABET) accredits
engineering programs on a nationwide basis.
Students wishing more information about accreditation
should consult their respective departmental
office or the Office of the Dean. The following
baccalaureate engineering programs in the
college are accredited by ABET, Inc., Biomedical
Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer
Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial
Engineering and Mechanical Engineering.
