Department of Mechanical Engineering
The University bestows the designation "Graduate Faculty" upon faculty following review
of their credentials and recommendation by their colleagues. The University maintains
three levels of graduate faculty: (1) Full, (2) Associate, and (3) External.
Only Full graduate faculty members may chair doctoral committees. Full or Associate
graduate faculty may chair master's committees. Only one external graduate faculty
member may serve as a voting member on any master's or doctoral committee.
