Structural Engineering and MechanicsField of StudyThe graduate program in Structural Engineering and Mechanics covers structural analysis, behavior and design, including applications of mechanics to structural materials, members, and systems. Courses are offered in advanced concrete and steel design, structural mechanics, structural models and experimental mechanics, earthquake engineering, offshore structures, probabilistic methods, plasticity, finite deformation theory, continuum mechanics, and wave propagation in solids. The program also offers students an opportunity for interdisciplinary study in computational mechanics and high performance computing. Through coordinated course work and research, students focus on a wide range of problems in structural engineering and mechanics. Students are able to develop individualized programs to meet their own needs and professional aspirations.Program Details
Financial SupportFellowships, traineeships, teaching assistantships and research assistantships are available on a competitive basis. Out-of-state tuition differential is generally paid for U.S. citizens who are awarded a teaching or research assistantship. Other non-resident students appointed to assistantships or fellowships may be considered for a special tuition rate. Applicants desiring to be considered for assistantships and fellowship supplements should submit results of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). Additional forms of financial support include long-term loans and part-time jobs.Contact InformationTasnin Hassan (thassan@eos.ncsu.edu)Group Coordinators, Structural Engineering and Mechanics Vernon C.
