This program is intended to meet the needs of recently graduated mechanical engineering students and professionally employed engineers. Its purpose is to increase competence in modern analysis and synthesis techniques as they apply to engineering design. The program centers on a core sequence, which all students are expected to take. The core courses contain advanced methods of analysis and design that are of common interest in engineering work. Students complete the program by electing a series of courses in mechanical engineering particularly suited to their current professional interests. Early in the program, students prepare, with the approval of the program coordinator, a detailed plan ensuring an overall educational experience that is integrated and logical. Decisions regarding both core and elective requirements are subject to final approval by either program coordinator. A minimum of 30 credits must be completed to earn the master of science degree in mechanical engineering. Specialized areas include: acoustics/aerodynamics, fluids/biomechanics, heat transfer/thermodynamics, applied mechanics, systems analysis/machine design/random vibrations/numerical analysis, solid mechanics/computer-aided design. Admission Policy Candidates for admission to the master’s program are normally expected to have a grade average of “B” (3.0 on a 4.0 scale) or better in their undergraduate coursework. Applicants are required to submit scores from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). Two letters of recommendation from individuals familiar with the applicant’s potential for graduate study are also required. In some cases, applicants with a bachelor’s degree in a field closely related to mechanical engineering or who have graduated from a non-ABET accredited undergraduate degree program may be considered for admission on a provisional basis. Students accepted on a provisional basis may be required to complete one or more additional undergraduate mechanical engineering courses and/or graduate courses. 5 Required Courses (15 credits) MECH 6602 - Mechanical Engineering Analysis MECH 6610 - Advanced Dynamics MECH 6615 - Elasticity MECH 6630 - Advanced Fluid Mechanics MECH 6632 - Applied Conduction Heat Transfer 5 Elective Courses * (15 credits) MECH 6604 - Numerical Techniques in Mechanical Engineering MECH 6605 - Finite Element Methods in Engineering MECH 6611 - System Vibrations MECH 6613 - Fundamentals of Acoustics MECH 6620 - Classical Thermodynamics MECH 6625 - Mechanics of Continua MECH 6627 - Computer-Aided Engineering MECH 6633 - Convection Heat Transfer MECH 6635 - Dynamic Systems and Control MECH 6638 - Measurement and Instrumentation in ME MECH 6642 - Combustion MECH 6645 - Computational Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer MECH 6647 - Two-Phase Flow MECH 6651 - Microscale Energy Transfer MECH 6655 - Interfacing Mechanical Devices MECH 6670 - Special Topics MECH 6690 - Research Project MECH 6695 - Independent Study I and MECH 6696 - Independent Study II MECH 6698 - Thesis I and MECH 6699 - Thesis II Total MSME program credits: 30 * With the coordinator’s written approval, one of the elective courses may be taken in other programs closely related to mechanical engineering. Additional Graduate Courses (for certain provisionally admitted students only) MECH 6622 - Topics in Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics MECH 6631 - Topics in General Heat Transfer
