The Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering Department at Kansas State University offers separate graduate programs in Mechanical Engineering and Nuclear Engineering both leading to M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. Our award-winning faculty are engaged in exciting and cutting-edge research projects in state of the art laboratories and research facilities, while our graduate students are excelling inside and outside of the classroom.

Research areas and courses include a broad range of both traditional and emerging fields of Mechanical Engineering and Nuclear Engineering. With over $5 million in research funding, almost all graduate students in our department receive graduate research assistantships (GRA). Several of our students receive graduate teaching assistantships (GTA) with 50-100 percent tuition waiver to help teach laboratory sections.

Courses include: * Dynamics
* Thermodynamics I
* Thermodynamics II
* Machine Design I
* Measurement and Instrumentation Laboratory
* Machine Design II
* Control of Mechanical Systems I

* Applications in Mechatronics
* Internal Combustion Engines
* Indoor Environmental Engineering
* Aerodynamics
* Aircraft and Missile Propulsion
* Thermodynamics of Modern Power Cycles

Applicants must have a bachelors degree from an accredited institution. Although students with bachelors degrees in Mechanical and/or Nuclear Engineering make up the bulk of our graduate student body, the department welcomes applicants from other fields including other engineering disciplines, mathematics, physics and chemistry. International applicants should also include GRE and TOEFL/IELTS scores. English Language Requirements IELTS band: 7 TOEFL paper-based test score : 600

Most graduate students are able to finance their education with a variety of financial assistance tools specific to graduate school:

* Graduate Assistantships: Funded by individual departments and graduate programs, teaching, research and graduate assistantships are awarded based on a student's ability and promise.
* Graduate Fellowships
* Loans: Loans are available to U.S. citizens or permanent residents who have successfully applied for financial assistance
* Traineeships: Traineeships are offered through the university or departments that have federally supported traineeships.
