Bachelor's background & GPA: Requires a relevant engineering bachelor’s (Mechanical or related).
Minimum undergraduate GPA: 3.0/4.0 from a regionally accredited institution.
If your degree is in a different field, you'll need to complete prerequisite engineering courses.
Subject prerequisites: GRE is not requiredCore knowledge in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat & mass transfer is expected.
Foundation in statics, dynamics, and materials science helps with upper-level courses.
Strong background in mechanical design and solid mechanics underpins project specializations.
Proficiency in applied mathematics (e.g., differential equations) supports advanced modeling.
Basic skills in control systems and instrumentation are useful, especially for thermal–fluid applications.
Familiarity with programming or computational tools (MATLAB, Python, C++) is beneficial for simulations.
