Disabled Students’ Services [Office of Special Services]The Office of Special Services offers specific services and support to students with a short-term or long-term physical disability and/or a learning disability. The goal of this office is to provide the necessary academic and personal support that will enable students who qualify to fully realize their potential and to successfully complete their college career. Eligibility for the program is determined by financial aid, physical or learning disability, and first generation college status. For more information call 585-475-2832 [V]. Minority Engineering Student ProgramThe mission of the Minority Engineering Program is to increase the enrollment of African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, Native Americans, and Asian-Americans studying engineering, and to provide a supportive environment so that these students will continue their studies through graduation with an engineering degree. Various support activities are planned throughout the year, which include guest speakers, group registration in calculus and physics, opportunities for mentoring with local professionals, and tutoring. For more information contact Rohan Palma, at 585-475-7436 [V] or 585-475-2145 [V/TTY]. Mechanical Engineering Graduate ProgramsAt the graduate level, we offer both the Master of Science (M.S.) and Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) Degrees in Mechanical Engineering. Both the M.S. and M.Eng. degrees are available for study in a dual degree program mode. During the winter quarter of their second year, undergraduate (B.S.) degree students are invited to apply for admission to the dual degree program. Those students who are accepted into this highly competitive, and demanding, program pursue a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree concurrently. Students in the dual degree programs complete four co-op segments, rather than five, and typically spend a total of 14 academic quarters in classes. As the engineering marketplace becomes more globally competitive, we are finding that large numbers of our students elect to complete both the B.S. and the M.Eng. degree, to place them in a stronger position as they start their careers. The Master of Science degree program has a strong research oriented focus, and is primarily directed towards students planning on completing a doctoral degree or advanced research careers in industry. All students enrolled in the M.S. program are required to complete a graduate thesis and conduct scholarly research. Students are required to complete two courses Math 1, Math 2, and must select one focus area from among three offered. Each student must then complete three core courses specified in their selected focus area. The department currently offers three focus areas including: Mechanics and Design, Systems and Controls, and Thermo/Fluids. The Master of Engineering degree program has a strong career oriented focus, and is primarily directed towards students seeking additional technical training, career development, and broadening their skills base. The M.Eng. degree does not include a thesis. All students enrolled in the M.Eng. program are required to complete three courses: Math 1, Systems Modeling, and Computer Implementation of FEM. Students must select four concentration courses from one of numerous concentration areas. Possible concentrations include thermo-fluids, controls, design, manufacturing, business, and customized program of study. The concentration may be significantly interdisciplinary. By design, a student's program may range over several colleges of the Institute in assembling courses which will best help him or her meet his or her professional objectives. Mechanical Engineering Research ProgramsResearch programs play an important part of high technology education, particularly at the Master’s degree level. While RIT is not a traditional research oriented university, we insure that our faculty remain current in their professional discipline, and provide meaningful research opportunities for our dual degree and graduate students to pursue. Our research programs often involve undergraduate students to a far greater extent than those of many other mechanical engineering programs, and typically have a very strong applications-oriented focus. A few of the research programs that our undergraduate and dual degree students participate in are summarized here. Micro-Channels and Mini-Channels Since its inception in 1990 the RIT Thermal Analysis and Microfluidics lab has been driven by a keen desire to focus on some fundamental phenomena related to boiling in novel and creative ways. Starting with the detection of micron-sized bubbles under flow conditions to today's thrust in microchannels and interfacial phenomena in an evaporating meniscus, the lab continues to contribute to the thermal and microfluidics field. Energy Systems Department faculty conduct applied research and development in the areas of design and performance analysis of Turbomachinery, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning systems, and exergetic analysis of energy intensive systems. Faculty and students work on alternative cooling technologies, co-generation systems, and fuel cell technology. Unmanned Air Vehicle Systems Department faculty conduct applied research and development in the areas of navigation and control, airframe design, mini-turbine power generation and propulsion systems, and stability augmentation. Aerosol Mechanics in Biological Systems Scholarly activity is directed towards developing a series of increasingly sophisticated lung deposition models to accurately account for morphology, air flow patterns, subject breathing variability's and particle dynamic behavior. The models may be used to predict carcinogen specific dosimetry, human risk assessment and toxicology relationships for all ages, specifically children with healthy and diseased lungs such as patients with asmtha, bronchitis or other chronic obstructive pulmonary disorders. Tribology and Lubrication in Microsystems Current research studies the interaction of thin lubricant films with structurally compliant surfaces, including effects of geometric irregularity, lubricant supply, and lubricant cavitation on predicted mechanical system performance. Performance of Novel Materials Faculty conduct research on fatigue life prediction and reliability in the aerospace industry, and are expanding their focus to include biomaterials. Current projects include fatigue in gas turbine engine materials; and characterization of diffusion bonded alloys. Theoretical work includes analysis of composite drive shafts with integral shaft couplings. The Mechanical Engineering Department StaffDiane Selleck maintains all of the undergraduate student records. You may ask her general questions regarding the undergraduate program, academic calendar, and various deadlines. Diane is responsible for handing out departmental forms, such as Drop/Add, Withdrawal, Application for Graduation, Application for Co-op Work Experience Credit, Request for Repeat of Course, etc. Diane is located in Building 9, Room 2203, at extension 5-2163. Sheila Garwood, the ME Staff Assistant, schedules all appointments for students to see the Department Head. The staff assistant maintains the Department Head's calendar, schedules the conference room, provides general departmental information, and distributes paychecks to all students employed in our department. The staff assistant is located in Building 9, Room 2203, at extension 5-2162. Connie LaBarre also supports the Department Head and Associate Department Head, as well as the dual degree and Graduate Studies Program. Her office is located in Building 9, Room 2203 and her extension is 5-5181. David Hathaway, assisted by Steven Kosciol, is responsible for teaching materials processing labs, supporting design projects, and maintenance and repair of the equipment in all of our labs. Student technicians, who work full-time in the department, report to him as frequently they work in the Machine Shop and PC Lab. David is responsible for all use of the machines in the shop area. Before students begin any project work, they should please see Dave or Steve. Dave is located in the machine shop area of Building 9, Room 2361, at extension 5-2184. William Finch is the Systems Administrator for the Department. He is in charge of the ME computer labs, their maintenance and upkeep. Bill also is the supervisor for the lab assistants who work in the computer labs. His office is located in Building 9, Room 2242 and his extension is 5-2964. Bill can assist with questions about personal computer selection and configurations for students.
