- The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers graduate programs leading to the degrees of Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (MSME) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in mechanical engineering.
- The graduate programs are designed to provide considerable flexibility in the selection of course work and specialization.
- Independent research, a requirement for the Ph.D. degree, is optional for the MSME degree. MSME students may choose a research-based thesis track or a coursework-based non-thesis track.
