Research Seminars in Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science

Graduate / Professional

The purpose of this course is to introduce graduate students to state-of-the-art research in all areas of Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science (MEMS), as well as related disciplines, so that students understand the range of current research questions that are being addressed. An important goal is to encourage students to explore research topics beyond their particular field of study and develop the ability to contextualize their work in terms of larger research questions in MEMS. We therefore require that MEMS Ph.D. students enrolled in this course attend at least eight research seminars during the term: six must be part of the official MEMS seminar series, and two can be from any other relevant Yale graduate department/program seminar series. This course is graded Sat/Unsat with sign-in sheets used to monitor attendance. Required of first- and second-year MEMS Ph.D. students. 0 Course cr HTBA
