Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering

Department website: http://www.me.gatech.edu/

Established in 1885

Mechanical Engineering (ME) was the first academic program established at Georgia Tech. On September 20, 1985, the School of Mechanical Engineering celebrated its centennial by assuming the name of one of its most distinguished alumni, Atlanta businessman and philanthropist George W. Woodruff (Class of 1917).

Today, the Woodruff School offers undergraduate degrees in mechanical engineering and nuclear and radiological engineering, and graduate degrees in mechanical engineering, nuclear and radiological engineering, medical physics, bioengineering, robotics, paper science and engineering.

Mechanical engineering embraces the generation, conversion, transmission, and utilization of thermal and mechanical energy; the design and production of tools and machines and their products; the consideration of fundamental characteristics of materials as applied to design; and the synthesis and analysis of mechanical, thermal, and fluid systems, including the automation of such systems.

Design, production, manufacture, operation, administration, economics, and research are functional aspects of mechanical engineering.

The undergraduate program in ME allows 15 credit hours of free electives, thereby allowing students to elect one of six concentration areas within in ME or any of the Institute's approved minors.

ME concentrations include:

Automation and Robotics
Thermal, Fluid, and Energy Systems
Micro and Nano Engineering
Mechanics of Materials
Manufacturing
Nuclear Energy

The Nuclear & Radiological Engineering (NRE) and Medical Physics (MP) programs are within the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering. NRE and MP are based on a symbiotic group of related areas of knowledge of a common set of science, engineering, and mathematical disciplines and their applications to the development of nuclear power and the utilization of radiation in industry and medicine.

Nuclear engineering field is broad with a unique nuclear core that includes physics of neutron chain (fission) and fusion reactors, radiation production, transport, and interaction with matter, radiation damage of materials, nuclear fuel and structural materials, large-scale numerical modeling, and simulation of nuclear systems. Radiological engineering is the application of the radiation related disciplines to radiation safety (protection), medical application (medical physics), security and detection of nuclear material. The multidisciplinary aspects of nuclear engineering includes topics in

ChBE (separation/processing),
ECE (electronics, instrumentation, electromagnetics),
ME (heat transfer, fluids, thermodynamics),
MSE (mechanics and properties of material), and
physics (nuclear, atomic, and radiation).

Medical physics encompasses the therapeutic and diagnostic applications of radiation in medicine. It involves the application of physical principles to medicine, particularly in the diagnosis and treatment of human diseases. Medical physics includes diagnostic radiology, the diagnosis of disease with X-rays, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging; health physics, the study of radiation hazards and radiation protection; nuclear medicine, the diagnosis and treatment of diseases with injected radio-pharmaceuticals; and radiation oncology, the treatment of cancer by ionizing radiation.

School Facilities

The Woodruff School is housed in a multi-building classroom/research complex. Included in this complex are modern classrooms and seminar conference rooms that serve the entire Institute.

The School has many types of specialized instruments and other equipment associated with its laboratories in mechanical engineering for the study of acoustics and dynamics; automation and mechatronics; bioengineering; computer-aided engineering and design; fluid mechanics; heat transfer, combustion, and energy systems; manufacturing; mechanics of materials; micro and nano engineering; and tribology. The Nuclear and Radiological Engineering Program has special facilities for the study of computational reactor physics; fast reactors; fusion; medical physics; and radiation detection.

Modern facilities and laboratories support experimental and theoretical programs of instruction and research. Special facilities in the Woodruff School include:

The Georgia Tech Invention Studio is also housed in the Woodruff School. It is a design-build-play space open to all Georgia Tech students, faculty, and staff, regardless of year, major, or prior experience. It is staffed by the University Lab Instructors, student volunteers who are always on hand to provide machine training and help with projects.

The facilities available for the nuclear and radiological engineering and medical physics programs include the

Radiological Science and Engineering Laboratory (RSEL),
AREVAL Radiation Detection Laboratory,
Varian Computational Treatment Planning Laboratory,
Microchannel Test Facility, and
