Independent Study Topics in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering
Participation in research can be a rewarding component of an undergraduate engineering program. Motivated students can earn credit and satisfy some elective degree requirements by conducting independent study or thesis research with a supervising faculty member. Alternatively, students can be paid to conduct research; for example, by completing a summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at UMass or at another university.
Most undergraduate research projects are “arranged” by the student who meets with faculty to discuss research interests and needs. Students often consult faculty web pages for overviews of faculty research interests and contact information for prospective advisors. Most faculty members welcome undergraduate researchers to their labs, and many can create undergraduate research projects reflecting student interests and capabilities that are related to their own research. Other projects may be more clearly defined in advance by faculty members, derive from other projects, or reflect a new idea that a student wishes to explore. Descriptions of some of the more well-defined research projects follow. Students interested in any of these projects or in other research topics are encouraged to contact the associated faculty members.
Professor Erin Baker :
My research is on energy technology policy, especially related to energy equity and the transition to a low carbon energy system. The methods are mathematical and computational decision modeling. Examples of current honors topics include modeling the impact of heat pumps on electricity demand in New England and evaluating energy storage options, including cooperatively owned and operated batteries and hot water storage.
Professor Wen Chen :
Our Multiscale Materials and Manufacturing Laboratory is very interested in hosting students for research intern, independent study, or senior project throughout the year. Our research group is focused on advanced manufacturing of structural and functional materials using various 3D printing technologies.

I also have projects on biomedical FSI.
Professor Jinglei Ping:
The goal of Ping Lab is to determine the fundamental principles governing applications of nanomaterials and nanomaterial-based device structures in biotechnology, healthcare, environmental monitoring, and so on. Fascinating phenomena emerge as materials or devices scale down, inducing "surprises" and offering promise for dramatic improvement in the material or device performances. However, not all "surprises" are favorable. Moreover, fabrication and investigation at micro or nano scales can be technically challenging. We tackle the challenges by combining techniques in bioelectronics, microfluidics, microscopy, microfabrication and more (sometimes we invent the techniques) to harness innovative physicochemical principles at micro or nano scales to create devices and systems for processing, detecting, and/or stimulating biosystems. We are an energetic lab focusing on interdisciplinary research. If you are interested in novel nanomaterials, understanding their bio-transducing properties, building nano-enabled biosensors, etc., reach out to us at ping [at] engin [dot] umass [dot] edu (ping[at]engin[dot]umass[dot]edu) ! Students from underrepresented groups are particularly encouraged.

Master thesis topics?
Hey there! So I am currently doing MSc in Industrial Engineering. I did MechE in bachelor and wrote my bachelor paper about material science. I was curious to see if someone would have a suggestion or guidance about choosing the topic for Industrial Engineering. I was working for a company while I wrote my bachelor thesis, so it was way easier to find something that I can do there aswell. All help appreciated.

Industrial Design Masters Theses
The Master of Industrial Design program explores design as a vehicle for addressing social, cultural, environmental and other concerns, recognizing that design is not simply a professional service, but rather a way of connecting individual interests and values with a social framework. Students with undergraduate degrees in other fields or with limited design experience are invited to enter the program during Wintersession as a means of preparing to begin the two-year master’s program the following fall.
ID covers a broad range of fields, from product and furniture explorations to design for aerospace and medical applications. Graduate students work independently under the guidance of a faculty advisor and thesis committee, and present their final work verbally, visually and in writing. They also participate in the RISD Graduate Thesis Exhibition , a large-scale public show held annually.
“Graduate candidates in ID don’t necessarily need an undergraduate degree in the field, but they do need strong visual communication skills. For those without an ID background, learning CAD, drawing and model making can be beneficial, and taking a general product design course can provide insight into the design process. Materials-based courses in a medium such as metal, glass, textiles, ceramics or wood also provide a good basis for work in ID.” - Andy Law, Graduate Program Director

Gökçe Altin awarded MolES Distinguished Dissertation Award
The UW Molecular Engineering Ph.D. program celebrated 12 students who successfully defended their theses during the 2023-2024 academic year on May 31, 2024. Faculty, students, and the graduates’ family and friends were in attendance. These MolE Ph.D. graduates conducted interdisciplinary research across eight different departments and organizations.
During the ceremony, Gökçe Altin was awarded the MolES Distinguished Dissertation Award for her publication, “3D printed engineered living materials with genetically programmed mechanical properties and bioproduction performance for the design of functional objects and therapeutic delivery platforms.” A committee of MolES faculty and staff selected her for the award.
Altin worked on developing a class of engineered living materials (ELMs), which combine living cells with polymeric matrices to yield novel materials with programmable functions. The cell platform and polymer network determine the material properties and applications. ELMs have the potential to attain a level of precision, control, responsiveness, and chemical recyclability unachievable with traditional, abiotic materials. Her most impactful contribution to the field thus far is the demonstration of 3D-printed ELMs with bio-augmented mechanical properties. This project was performed with collaborator Hal Alper at the University of Texas, Austin.
In this study, Altin utilized bovine serum albumin (BSA) resin to encapsulate and print engineered E. coli for the in-situ production of L-DOPA (a phytochemical compound belongs to phenolic family) to enhance the mechanical stiffness; naringenin (a phytochemical compound belongs to flavonoid family) production was used to demonstrate an ELM for continuous production of a therapeutic compound and S. cerevisiae was engineered to produce betaxanthin (a phytochemical compound belongs to beta lain family) to afford an ELM that could resist microbial degradation.
“Gökçe demonstrated the potential for this field by 3D printing robust ELM hydrogels as machine parts that can be assembled into mechanically functional nut/bolt and functional gears,” said her advisor, Al Nelson, the MolES director of education, Nist Faculty Fellow, associate chair, and professor of chemistry. “Her findings represent an exciting advancement toward engineered living machines.”
Her work on this was published in March in Advanced Functional Materials . Before arriving at the UW, Altin was a graduate student at Istanbul Technical University, where she studied the chemistry of bioactive compounds, including polyphenols, carotenoids, and fatty acids. She has since joined the faculty at Northeastern University as an assistant professor in the College of Science within the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology.
Congratulations, Gökçe!
