Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineering is a discipline that advances diverse and challenging solutions to complex engineering problems requiring the integration of analytical, design, mathematical, economic, etc. knowledge. Mechanical engineers develop solutions to physical problems and improve existing solutions. As a graduate mechanical engineering student you will cover a broad scope of topics to prepare you for a successful engineering career, or to further your goal in seeking a more advanced academic degree. The Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering prepares students to work toward more advanced degrees, or to work in today's complex and competitive industry that shapes our society. Our program values the diverse perspectives of students, providing an evolving curriculum tailored to the needs of industry and society. Students have the opportunity to work with faculty on multidisciplinary emerging research areas. All requirements for the master's degree coursework must be completed within six consecutive calendar years after initial registration. The Educational Objectives (EOs) of the Master of Science program in Mechanical Engineering (MSME) are to produce graduates who: Will be prepared for successful careers in industry, government, or non-profit establishments, and will have an appreciation for lifelong learning; Will have the capacity to use advanced analytical and experimental methods needed to continue graduate study at the doctoral level, or to thrive in a research and development environment in a private, public, or government institution; Will have a breadth of knowledge that fosters an awareness of and skill in interdisciplinary approaches to problem solving and Will have a keen sense of professionalism and a commitment to work toward the betterment of society.
