• The Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering is offered by the Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering. Student’s course of study includes Advanced Mechanics of Materials, Control of Dynamic Systems, and Mechanical Behavior of Materials as well as additional courses in mechanical engineering, science, mathematics, and computer engineering. Both a research-based thesis option and a project-based non-thesis option are offered.
  • Mechanical engineering is concerned with quantitative analysis and the application of engineering science to solve engineering problems. The Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering prepares students for future engineering practice that requires a higher level of mastery in mechanical engineering. It is best suited for individuals with backgrounds in mechanical engineering or related areas (such as materials science or physics). The degree includes courses in computer-based modeling, advanced mechanics of materials, control of dynamic systems, thermo-fluids, and mechanical behavior of materials as well as a limited number of additional courses in science, mathematics, or engineering.
  • This program develops students who can:
    • Apply analytical techniques to solve engineering problems.
    • Demonstrate the ability to define a problem, perform background research, identify a project or research methodology to address the problem, and contribute towards solutions or further understanding of the problem through either a thesis or research project.
    • Communicate effectively, in writing and presentations, the results of research or project work.
    • Demonstrate the ability to apply knowledge, beyond the undergraduate-level, of mechanical engineering
