考慮機(jī)械工程的碩士申請(qǐng)，同時(shí)表現(xiàn)出申請(qǐng)者對(duì)本專業(yè)有明確的研究方向，我們將研究方向細(xì)化為五個(gè)項(xiàng)目：
Biomechanical Engineering (BME) Program 生物機(jī)械工程
The Biomechanical Engineering (BME) Program has teaching and research activities which focus
primarily on musculoskeletal biomechanics, neuromuscular biomechanics, cardiovascular biomechanics, and rehabilitation engineering. Research in other areas including hearing, ocean, plant, and vision biomechanics exist in collaboration with associated faculty in biology, engineering, and medicine. The Biomechanical Engineering Program has particularly strong research interactions with the Mechanics and Computation and the Design groups, and the departments of Functional Restoration, Neurology, Radiology, and Surgery in the School of Medicine.
生物機(jī)械工程學(xué)首要的是研究肌肉骨骼，神經(jīng)肌肉，心血管工程方向以及相關(guān)復(fù)原工程。在其他領(lǐng)域包括聽力，海洋，視力等生物力學(xué)存在于與生物，工程，以及醫(yī)學(xué)等。生物機(jī)械工程學(xué)與流體物理學(xué)和計(jì)算工程有很強(qiáng)的相關(guān)性。同時(shí)與包括骨骼恢復(fù)，神經(jīng)病學(xué)，放射學(xué)，外科醫(yī)學(xué)等相關(guān)。
Design Group 總成設(shè)計(jì)
The Design Group emphasizes cognitive skill development for creative design. It is concerned with automatic control, computer-aided design, creativity, design aesthetics, design for manufacturability, design research, experimental stress analysis, fatigue and fracture mechanics, finite element analysis, human factors, kinematics, manufacturing systems, microcomputers in design, micro-electromechanics systems (MEMS), robotics, and vehicle dynamics. The Design Group offers undergraduate and graduate programs in Product Design (jointly with the Department of Art and Art History) and is centrally involved in the founding of Stanford's new Hasso Plattner Institute of Design.

(FPCE)流體物理學(xué)和計(jì)算工程
The Flow Physics and Computational Engineering Group (FPCE) is developing new theories, models, and computational tools for accurate engineering design analysis and control of complex flows (including acoustics, chemical reactions, interactions with electromagnetic waves, plasmas, and other phenomena) of interest in aerodynamics, electronics cooling, environment engineering, materials processing, planetary entry, propulsion and power systems, and other areas. A significant emphasis of FPCE research is on modeling and analysis of physical phenomena in engineering systems. FPCE students and research staff are developing new methods and tools for generation, access, display, interpretation and post-processing of large databases resulting from numerical simulations of physical systems. Research in FPCE ranges from advanced simulation of complex turbulent flows to active flow control. The FPCE faculty teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in acoustics, aerodynamics, computational fluid mechanics, computational mathematics, fluid mechanics, combustion, and thermodynamics and propulsion.
