Dear Colleagues and Students,

The Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering is the largest disciplinary department at Northeastern University’s College of Engineering, with a total student enrollment of nearly 3,000 in 2018. We offer 20 degree programs at the BS, MS, and PhD level in mechanical and industrial engineering as well as interdisciplinary and even multidisciplinary programs, including innovative degrees such as a BS in Mechanical Engineering/JD in Law 3+3 program, and BS in Mechanical Engineering and Physics, and MS degrees in Data Analytics Engineering, Energy Systems, Human Factors, Robotics, and Operations Research, to name a few.

Our undergraduate mechanical and industrial engineering programs are ABET accredited, and the department offers flexible programs to enable students to personalize their pathways through combined majors, electives, minors, concentrations, accelerated master’s degrees, and graduate certificates. Our department has over 70 tenured/tenure-track and teaching faculty. Since 2011, we hired 32 tenured/tenure-track faculty, propelling multiple research clusters in the department toward excellence, while our increase in teaching faculty enable educational excellence to advance even further. Our faculty are accomplished in their field, such as University Distinguished Professor Ahmed Busnaina who was named a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors this past year, and Professor Hameed Metghalchi who was awarded the American Society of Mechanical Sincerely, Engineers George Westinghouse Medal.

Collaboration with government, academia and industry is part of our focus. As such Emanuel Melachrinoudis we have established large-scale collaborations with major industrial companies Professor and Interim including General Electric, Raytheon, and Northrop. The industrial collaborations augment multiple governmental supports secured by our faculty, such as the $20M Department Chair contract order from the US Army Research Office and $125M contract order from Mechanical and the US Veterans Health Administration. Industrial Engineering According to the US News and World Report, our mechanical engineering graduate [email protected] program moved up 14 places to No. 43 in five years, while our industrial engineering graduate program has moved up three places to No. 33 during the same period. This momentum will continue through strategic growth. I invite alumni and other stakeholders to join us in propelling this department even further, and also invite all to consider this department for your education and for research and development projects.

We thank you for your interest and if you have any further questions or information needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

In this dissertation Directed or selective assembly can create ordered we do several analyzes for different kinds of structural microsystems for a broad range of applications from connections a natural connection due to adhesion, a sensing to the life sciences. One example is templated two-sided constraint connection, and a bolted jointed assembly by selective removal (TASR), which has been connection.

There are three different ways to model and hierarchical architectures such as are typically this behavior: a) without induced tension as has been required for metamaterials, tissue engineering or studied in a previous investigation; b) with the stiffening medical diagnostic devices. One potential solution to the effect due to the contact regions being prevented from challenge of creating 3D and hierarchical systems using slipping axially, thereby inducing tension due to transverse directed assembly is to integrate the assembly techniques displacement; c) the case with frictional slip regions which with other microscale technologies such as microfluidics reduces the induced tension compared to case (b).

These has gained considerable attention in recent years due include renewable biomass and organic wastes (both to its clean combustion behavior when compared to the agricultural and post-consumer). Options include firing conventional fuels.

In thermodynamics, gas dynamics limited modifications. In both cases, knowledge on the and many other fields it is very important to determine the details of the pyrolysis and combustion behaviors of these non-equilibrium behavior of a system.
