The Structures, Mechanics and Materials group at Georgia Tech Savannah is involved in a wide range of research activities, from the blast response of structures strengthed using fiber-reinforced polymeric (FRP) materials to structural steel analysis and design to reliable engineering computing.

The group offers graduate programs in structural engineering analysis and design, computer-aided engineering, behavior of structural systems, earthquake engineering, engineering science and mechanics, high-performance materials, and intelligent engineering learning environments.

The faculty, students, and staff are encouraged to form partnerships to create and sustain a quality of learning, discovery, and creativity. The faculty are leaders in their respective fields and are committed to developing in their students the skills needed to solve real-world problems.
