Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering

Overview

The Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (MSME) program is housed within the Mechanical Engineering department, and provides students with advanced study in engineering with a specialization in Electro-Mechanical Systems. Students are prepared to design and implement electro-mechanical systems to fulfill the needs of a wide range of industries, including aerospace, aviation, automotive, and energy systems. Both thesis and non-thesis options are available, and each requires completion of 30 credits hours. In either option, the concentration area in Electro-Mechanical Systems requires students to complete 15 credit hours from a list of core courses. These core courses address both the theory and practical implementation of electro- mechanical systems. Students are permitted to choose general electives offered within the College of Engineering and the College of Arts and Sciences that support the educational and/or research goals of the student, pending approval from the ME graduate program coordinator.
