 The Department of Engineering Sciences offers the
Master of Engineering, Master of Science, and Engineer
degrees in aerospace engineering, in engineering me-
chanics, and in engineering science. The Doctor of
Philosophy degree is offered in aerospace engineering
and in engineering mechanics, with specialized tracks
in the latter discipline in coastal and oceanographic
engineering, in engineering analysis and applied mathe-
matics, and theoretical and applied mechanics.
 Areas of specialization include aerodynamics, applied
mathematics, applied optics, atmospheric science,
biomechanics, coastal hydraulics and water quality con-
trol, coastal hydrodynamics and oceanography, control
theory, creative design, fluid mechanics, solid mechanics,
and structural mechanics.
