When Casey Harwood accepted a position as assistant professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Iowa, he did so knowing that he would be conducting research at one of the premiere institutions in his chosen specialty: hydrodynamics.
The UI’s renown also helped him land his...
On Friday, January 18, the Engineering Fluids Laboratories held an open house to display the new facilities and equipment available to University of Iowa students. Numerous IIHR faculty members were on hand to guide students through the three labs in the suite: the Fluids Fundamentals Lab,...
Engineering students at Iowa are smart, interesting people. They are also international travelers, Big Ten athletes, Hawkeye Marching Band members, leaders of student organizations, fraternity and sorority members, entrepreneurs, artists, musicians, hospital volunteers, student senators, dance marathoners, intramural competitors, researchers, and more. Explore our academic programs.
Cars, aircraft, medical devices, structures— all of these begin in the imaginations of mechanical engineers. Mechanical engineers use computers to simulate freezing human cells, casting processes, and failure of vehicle components, among other things. They improve alternative energy sources like fuel cells, wind, and biomass, and use reality-based design and optimization to boost performance.
Iowa’s program is especially strong in areas ranging from biomechanics to fluid mechanics, such as design optimization for ship hydrodynamics. The breadth of faculty expertise opens extensive options for students to do hands-on research, and a combined B.S./M.S. degree option means more opportunity for specialization.
