From the metal alloys used in automobiles to the polymer pollution filters used in a nearby power plant, society depends on engineered materials. At the Center for Advanced Materials Processing (CAMP), engineers focus specifically on creating and refining processes and manufacturing methods to ensure the quality of those materials.
Research
Mechanical Engineering faculty and students in the Russ College have a broad background but focus primarily on three areas of research: energy and the environment, materials and manufacturing, and bioengineering.
Through these areas of research, mechanical engineering students have opportunities to develop new materials, conceive new applications for them in medical, environmental and educational settings, and bring them to industrial scale.
