Introduction to Engineering Research
Introduction to Engineering Research (Crone, 2020) helps undergraduate and first year graduate students understand the context of engineering research and the ancillary skills needed to be a successful researcher. The book is used by individuals, research groups and courses, proving to be a valuable resource nationally for Research Experience for Undergraduate (REU) summer programs and first year graduate students in engineering disciplines.
Available through university libraries and Springer.
Courses Taught by Prof. Crone:
EMA 303: Mechanics of Materials
EMA 506: Advanced Mechanics of Materials
EMA 519: Fracture Mechanics
EMA 601/EPD 690: Informal Science Education for Scientists: A Practicum
EMA 615: Micro- and Nanoscale Mechanics
EP 468: Introduction to Engineering Research
EP 469: Research Proposal in Engineering Physics
EP 568: Research Practicum in Engineering Physics I
EP 569: Research Practicum in Engineering Physics II
Engineering Physics, BS
The B.S. in Engineering Physics degree program includes research experience and skill development in emerging technology areas, which prepares students for a range of opportunities from high-tech startups to advanced graduate degrees. This honors undergraduate degree program culminates in a research thesis achieved through a mentored research experience. Students from this major go on to pursue graduate degrees at the unprecedented rate of 94% and subsequent leadership roles in industry, national labs, and government.
Mechanics Seminar Series
If you are interested in mechanics—including dynamics, fluids and solids—we encourage you to attend the Mechanics Seminar Series. Held weekly on Fridays 12:05-12:55 p.m. in 1106 ME, our seminar features distinguished faculty and researchers each semester.
