Engineering Science and Mechanics is pleased to introduce two new Integrated Undergraduate Graduate (IUG) Programs. An IUG program permits students to take on the rigors and research challenges of graduate study at Penn State by coordinating and combing them with their baccalaureate studies.

E Sc 541 will provide graduate students and practicing engineers with an understanding of the physical processes accompanying laser interactions with matter under conditions typical for laser-materials processing.

EMch 597D is a foundational course in the experimental analysis of nonlinear dynamical systems. Students will learn about the mathematical concepts and algorithmic tools needed to characterize, analyze, model, and predict the dynamics of nonlinear systems that arise in a wide variety of contexts.
