The Aerospace Engineering department offers specialized training in aerodynamics and gas dynamics, essential for designing flight vehicles. Specialized Research and Advanced Studies
is often described as the "science of everything that flows." From the blood pumping through your veins to the aerodynamics of a Formula 1 car and the sustainable management of groundwater in Kansas’s vast prairies, understanding how liquids and gases move is fundamental to modern engineering.
Located in Learned Hall, this facility houses multiple subsonic wind tunnels. The most notable is the . fluid mechanics ku
The reputation of rests heavily on its distinguished faculty. These are the names you will see on research papers and the front of the lecture hall.
: A standard requirement for mechanical engineers covering basic concepts, differential analysis, and the Navier-Stokes equations . The most notable is the
The KU curriculum emphasizes both theoretical derivations and practical experimentation. Department of Mechanical Engineering - KU Catalog
The labs are designed to teach students about uncertainty analysis and technical reporting. At KU, getting the "right answer" is less important than understanding how wrong your answer could be based on instrument precision. : A standard requirement for mechanical engineers covering
This lab focuses on water. Given the importance of the Kansas River and the High Plains Aquifer, researchers here use refractive-index-matched flourescence (RIMF) to study:
