Introduction

The Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering prepares students for future engineering practice that requires a higher level of mastery in mechanical engineering. It is best suited for individuals with backgrounds in mechanical engineering or related areas such as materials science, biomedical engineering or physics. The degree includes core courses in mathematical modeling, dynamical systems and control, thermal-fluid systems, mechanics and mechanical behavior of materials, and advanced manufacturing as well as diverse options for courses in science, engineering, and mathematics.

All students are required to complete graduate coursework as defined below.

  • Students must earn a total of 24 credit hours in concentration and elective courses (with a minimum of 15 credit hours of concentration courses), two credit hours in graduate seminar and six credit hours of master’s thesis, for a minimum of 32 total credit hours.
