Iowa State's graduate program offers study in manufacturing and materials, controls and robotics, combustion, fluid mechanics and dynamics, heat transfer, refrigeration, energy systems, and microelectromechanical systems. Instrumentation, design of experiments, and computational methods may be applied to any of these areas.

Research at Iowa State’s department of mechanical engineering covers a broad range, from thermal systems to mechanical systems, plus virtual reality applications and micro/nano systems. The reputation of the department's faculty has attracted support for research at the cutting edge of technology from federal, state and industrial sources.

The program is 30 credits. It has a thesis and non-thesis option. If you select the non-thesis option, you complete a creative component that demonstrates substantial evidence of individual accomplishment. A typical schedule includes one course per semester, allowing you to finish the degree program in three to five years. Students at John Deere in Dubuque and Waterloo piloted the off-campus program during 1998-1999.
