| The faculty is composed of professors from five research groups with expertise in the five fundamental fields in mechanical engineering. The research for each field addresses emerging technology challenges or new findings in mechanics and science over a wide spectrum. |
| Solid Mechanics Group |
| Knowledge of the static and dynamic behavior of a solid component is crucial to a successful product and a safe manufacturing process. Hence, we investigate the strength of a material or a structure, its elastic and plastic behavior, its fracture mechanism, and its fatigue, as well as its response to loading to understand its vibration, deformation, and failure. The integration of all these knowledge constitutes the analysis of system structure, system stability, and system reliability. We also look into a wide spectrum of new materials or technologies for industrial applications, such as the application of piezoelectric materials, energy harvesting techniques, high power motors, hybrid power vehicles, and metal forming and mold design. In addition, we are also strong in inter-disciplinary research, particularly in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), biomechanics, and surface and interface phenomena.

| Mechanical Design Group |
With rapid technology advancements, engineering products become smaller, lighter, stronger, smarter, and more eco-friendly. These improvements open up new possibilities while posing new challenges to the mechanism design and manufacturing process. Considering these changes in technology, we rethink the principles of mechanical design in all aspects—from sensor development to system integration, from mechanical to mechatronic and optoelectronic systems, and from design methodology to creative design. The research also aims to the need for precision, reliability, automation, and artificial intelligence and investigates how computer-aided-technology can advance and accelerate the process in design and also manufacturing.

| Manufacturing Group |
| The manufacturing method, process control, and material properties are all important to the success and the quality of final products. To enhance the overall understanding of manufacturing, we study both the fundamentals and the state-of-art implementation of different kinds of traditional, advanced, and AI-assisted manufacturing methods. The topics we cover include, but are not limited to, engineering materials, mechanical engineering manufacturing, biomedical engineering, precision measurement, CAD/CAM computer-integrated manufacturing, manufacturing management, and quality control. Special focus is made on how the new technologies—MEMS, mechatronic integration, and new energy technology—assist advanced manufacturing processes.

| Thermo and Fluid Science Group |
| In response to the rapid advancements in miniaturization and functionality of electronic devices, research is focused on the new challenges to the involved thermal management and flow control which are crucial to the reliability and lifetime of the devices. Under the consideration of energy crisis and environmental protection, we are fully engaged in the development of clean energy technology and waste-energy-recovery technology as well. Knowledge of the thermal and flow physics of various flow compositions, integrated system analysis and novel approaches have been investigated through theoretical analysis, experimental measurements, and computer simulation. Design and optimization of flow and thermal control on new systems, from microscale to macroscale, are actively proceeded for the sake of meeting the needs in both industry and fundamental research.

| System Control Group |
| A lot of efforts are made in understanding system dynamics, constructing associated mechatronic sub-systems, and deploying control strategies and techniques to improve system performance. The integrative nature of a mechanical system requires multidisciplinary learning and research, and we cover research topics from identification, modeling, optimization, and control in a wide range of applications—robotics, intelligent systems, bio-medical systems, and powertrains.
