The Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) degree program is an undifferentiated (interdisciplinary), non-thesis program designed primarily for practicing engineers that is offered on the campus of Texas Tech University and by distance learning. For practicing engineers, credit for graduate coursework completed in residence at another accredited graduate school may be accepted for as much as 15 hours of the 36 semester hour requirements for the M.Eng. degree.
All work credited toward the degree must be completed within nine calendar years. In addition to the regulations governing admission to the Texas Tech University Graduate School, a baccalaureate degree in engineering, or its equivalent, is required for entrance to the M.Eng. program.
Students in the M.Eng. program are subject to all master's degree regulations, as outlined in the Graduate Catalog. Due to its interdisciplinary nature, the M.Eng. program does not require specific major and minor subjects. However, the program does allow up to six hours of course work to be taken outside of engineering, upon the approval of theIR graduate advisor.
Students in the M.Eng. program do not have any language or tool-subject requirements. Every candidate for a master's degree is required to pass a final comprehensive examination. At the discretion of the advisor, the examination may be written, oral, or a combination of both.
