Offered with both a thesis and non-thesis option, a master's in mechanical engineering gives graduates advanced knowledge in the analysis, design and fabrication of machines, engines, products and technologies. This multi-disciplinary approach mimics the expertise and problem-solving capabilities graduates are expected to have once in the workplace.
Students in the master's in mechanical engineering program must choose one of the following areas of specialization:
- Automotive Engineering
- Dynamic Systems – Robotics and Controls
- Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology
- Structures: Solid Mechanics and Materials
- Thermal Fluid Sciences
Careers
Graduates can expect to find an abundance of job opportunities in design and development, field service, software development and at leading engineering firms. Employers that have recruited graduates with a master's in mechanical engineering degree from Florida Tech include Boeing, Lockheed Martin, NASA/Kennedy Space Center, Pratt & Whitney, US Army, Mainstream Engineering, GE, Harris Corp. and Northrop Grumman.
