During their training, students will learn the fundamental knowledge and essential skills that will allow them to continue to grow throughout their careers. Our program emphasizes a fundamental approach to engineering and science in which students become skilled at clearly defining problems and then bringing their knowledge of the fundamental principles and techniques to design and implement optimal solutions. This philosophy is incorporated in all aspects of the graduate program, from course design and teaching as well in the research activities conducted by our faculty.

Designed for students interested in pursuing a career in research or continuing on to a doctoral program. There are two MS thesis tracks or majors: Mechanical Engineering and Sustainable Energy. Students completing the MSME thesis will earn a degree in Mechanical Engineering.
