The MS in Mechanical Engineering provides the technical depth and breadth required for engineers to lead organizations and develop impactful technical solutions in a wide range of industries, and/or to pursue advanced doctoral studies in engineering. Courses are selected by the student to meet their career objectives; 18 credit hours (six courses) must be within mechanical engineering and others are selected from engineering, computer science, business, physical sciences, mathematics or statistics. In addition to an MS degree in mechanical engineering, students also obtain two specializations that are recorded on their transcripts.
