Systems and Design

Research and education in Systems and Design is unified by the fundamentals of multi-body mechanics, dynamical systems and control, and optimization. Research opportunities include the application of these fundamentals in biorobotics, flight guidance, learning systems, mechanism design, micro sensors and actuators, and the control of structures, combustion, fuel cells, and aerospace vehicles. The curriculum covers the fundamentals and their integration with domain specific knowledge and objectives in the application areas. M.S. and Ph.D. theses address a topic in an application area or in general systems and design theory and methodology.
