The MECS Program at OSU is establishing itself as a national leader in university research and as a preferred institution for graduate study in MECS. The demand for graduate students trained in MECS is increasing given the commercialization potential for the technology. Some MECS funding supports graduate and undergraduate MECS research.

MECS education and training for graduate students is occurring through a combination of fundamental courses, specialty MECS offerings, independent study, and direct involvement in research projects at OSU.

In addition, a MECS minor has been established by the Mechanical Engineering Department, however any OSU student may add this minor. For further information on the MECS minor, please contact the MECS coordinator.

Current MECS courses include the following:

• Meso-scale Manufacturing (IME/ECE/ChE)
• Microfabrication Technology (IME)
• Microscale Fluids (ME)
• Microscale Transport Phenomena (ME/ChE)
• Micro Reaction Engineering (ChE/BioE)
• Microscale Sensors, Instrumentation and Control (ECE/ChE)
• Microscale Energy Conversion (ME/ECE)
• Modeling and Simulation of Microscale Processes (ME/ECE)
• Microscale Unit Operations (ChE/BioE)
• Microscale Multi-phase flow (NE/ME)
• Computational Fluid Dynamics (ME)
• Chemcad Process Simulation (ChE)
• Semiconductor Manufacturing (ECE)
• Seminar (ME/ChE/IME/ECE/BioE)

• BioE: Bioengineering
