Graduate Prerequisites: PhD standing - Through trial placements in multiple research labs, first-year PhD students have the opportunity to become familiar with the activities of research groups that are of interest to them. It is recommended that first-year PhD students identify and complete three placements: one in the first semester of their first year and two in their second semester. These placements are intended to help students sample research activities available within Mechanical Engineering and identify the research group and faculty advisor with whom they will perform their dissertation research. Normally each placement will last up to seven weeks. VAR cr. P/F. Either sem.
