Program Overview
The Master of Science in Engineering is a professional master’s program that builds on an undergraduate engineering program by offering additional depth and greater mastery in a number of technical areas.
Program Objectives
The MSE-Mechanical Engineering program is intended for individuals who desire a deeper understanding and knowledge of mechanical engineering as applied to various systems. Students select courses from a structured framework in order to customize a program that best meets their individual and career needs.
To receive the M.S. degree a student in the ME graduate program must complete 40 credit hours of graduate work. There are two plans to choose from:
- Plan A (consists of 32 credit hours of coursework, research, and an 8 credit hour thesis)
- Plan B (consists of 40 credit hours of coursework)
