Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering

Curriculum

Traditionally many mechanical engineers headed for automotive and aerospace, but today’s big growth areas are energy, robotics, bioengineering and nanotechnology. The MS in Mechanical Engineering degree program prepares both recent baccalaureate graduates and experienced mechanical engineers for advanced micro-scale and nanoscale mechanical and thermal design and development. Designed to accommodate the needs of working engineers who wish to continue their education, the program offers courses at times convenient for students employed on a full-time basis.
