• The Master of Science (M.S.) degree with a major in Engineering provides a practical, industry-driven focus via a long-term, targeted technical project or thesis related to real-world engineering applications.
  • These projects will be conducted in partnership with local industries and may involve off-campus collaborations. The degree requires a large-scale project or thesis because the abilities to solve problems, innovate and make immediate contributions to industry are best developed by having students confront a substantial, open-ended problem; perform detailed research on the problem; develop various solutions; choose and implement the best solution; validate their choice; and effectively communicate the process to professional colleagues, executives, and customers.
