About Us

Mechanical engineering is the broadest of all engineering disciplines. We team up with a wide variety of scientists and engineers on work that spans countless disciplines-from energy and fluid mechanics to dynamics, combustion, vibration, design, manufacturing processes, systems modeling and simulation, mechatronics, robotics, mechanics of materials, rapid prototyping, and composites.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Washington embodies the collaborative, interdisciplinary spirit of our field. Working with other departments, schools, and universities, we focus on the integration of technological systems to solve practical problems in our teaching and research.
