Master of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering - Design

The M.Eng. (Mechanical Engineering) degree program is a one-year (two semester) course of study for those who wish to develop a higher level of competence in engineering science, current technology, and engineering design. The program is geared toward students who wish to work in industry after graduation, entering at a higher and more focused level. The program is designed to be flexible so that candidates may concentrate on one or a combination of focus areas. These focus areas include biomechanics, design, energy, engineered materials, robotics, simulation and analysis, and spacecraft engineering. The program's flexibility allows students to build an individualized program of courses. Students are required to complete 30 credits of work at the graduate level. Each student's curriculum includes a major design project along with a combination of technical courses. Students may also take one or two professional development courses to build complementary skills.

Design is critical for many aspects of mechanical engineering, and spans a broad spectrum. Design helps give form to a better world and help solve problems we face. Engineers design machine components, mechanical devices, new materials, large systems, and even manufacturing or service processes. Underlying these activities lies a fundamental knowledge of the traditional areas of fluids, thermal, solids, and dynamics, but also a host of cross-cutting skills. As design often refers to the act of creating new things, engineering designers must master ideation, drawing, analysis, concept selection, prototyping, and testing. Today, almost all engineering companies view design as a primary mission focus to ensure innovation and competitiveness.

Applicants should hold a bachelor's degree in engineering or the physical sciences. All applicants must submit GRE general test scores. Submission of GRE subject test scores in engineering, mathematics, or physics is strongly recommended.
