THE DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF UTAH
Challenge. Opportunity. Choice. Excellence. The Future.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Utah is a
world-class research and teaching organization that graduates Ph.D., M.S.
and B.S. engineers to energize the economics of the state, the nation and
many foreign countries. Working with state-of-the-art equipment and
guided by exceptional faculty members, you can become part of a
cutting-edge research team with the potential to make a significant impact
on a variety of technical fields, change the future, and improve human
lives. Our main research areas include: Design, Ergonomics,
Manufacturing, & Systems; Robotics, Controls, & Mechatronics; Solid
Mechanics; and, Thermal-Fluids & Energy Systems. Within each group you
will find faculty with unique interests and cutting-edge research. In fact in
the last several years we have added 18 new faculty members−6 since
2017, making this an especially exciting time to be a member of our team.
The University of Utah campus is situated in Salt Lake City, a diverse,
cosmopolitan city with a population of 1M nestled against the backdrop of
the beautiful Wasatch Mountains. Salt Lake City residents have
unparalleled access to national parks (eight within a half day’s drive:
Arches, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, Grand Teton, Great
Basin, Yellowstone, and Zion), skiing/snowboarding (10 world-class resorts
within 30 minutes), hiking, fishing, biking, rafting/kayaking, NBA basketball,
MLS soccer, PAC-12 sports, and numerous cultural events including opera,
dance, symphony, theater, and outdoor concerts, amongst others. In
addition, there’s the convenience of an international airport located only 15
minutes from campus.
