About Program

Program Overview

Students can choose from six focus areas: Advanced Manufacturing, Biomechanical Engineering, Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Science, Hypersonic Technologies, Robotics, Dynamics, and Controls, and Solids/Mechanics of Materials. Students can choose an All-Course option, which requires ten courses, or a Thesis option, which requires eight courses and a thesis.

Program Outline

Degree Overview:

Program Name: Mechanical Engineering, Master of Science
Program Type: Part-time, Online
Focus Areas: Students must choose one of six focus areas: Advanced Manufacturing, Biomechanical Engineering, Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Science, Hypersonic Technologies, Robotics, Dynamics, and Controls, and Solids/Mechanics of Materials.
Program Description: The program is designed for working professionals who want to advance their careers in mechanical engineering.
Objectives: The program aims to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to:
Solve practical engineering problems in their chosen focus area.
Develop a deep understanding of advanced concepts in mechanical engineering.
Enhance their career prospects in the field of mechanical engineering.

Outline:

Program Structure: Students can choose one of two options to fulfill their Master's degree requirements: the "All-Course" option or the "Thesis" option.
All-Course Option:
Requires ten courses.
Must be completed within five years from the start of the student's first class.
Includes one core course in mathematics, two core courses from Group 1, three courses from Group 2 of the student's chosen focus area, and four technical electives.
At least two of the four electives must be from a core engineering discipline.
One elective course can be substituted for EN.535.820 - Masters Graduate Research.
Courses from the full-time program (EN.530.XXX) may be substituted for a relevant requirement with advisor approval.
One computationally-oriented course is strongly recommended.
Only one C-range grade (C+, C, or C–) can count toward the master’s degree.
Thesis Option:
Requires eight courses and a Master's thesis.
Must be completed within five years.
Includes one core course in mathematics, two core courses from Group 1, three courses from Group 2 of the student's chosen focus area, two technical electives, and a thesis.
At least one of the two electives must be from a core engineering discipline.
Only one C-range grade (C+, C, or C–) can count toward the master’s degree.
Students electing to choose the thesis option should get prior written approval from both their academic advisor and the program chair.
The thesis should expand the body of theoretical or applied knowledge in the field of the student's chosen focus area.
Students must work with an approved research advisor.
An electronic version of the master thesis should be delivered to the Milton S. Eisenhower (MSE) library after its approval by the thesis committee.
The research work should generally start after the student finishes all the course requirements for their chosen focus area and should not take more than 3 consecutive semesters.
While working on the thesis, students must enroll in the two-course sequence EN.535.820 - Master's Graduate Research and EN.535.821 - Master's Thesis Writing.
The prerequisite for these courses is the completion of all course requirements in the student's focus area and the approval of the program chair.
The approval of the program chair follows the submission of a research proposal by the student that is approved by their research advisor.
The latest a proposal can be submitted for consideration is during the third to last semester of the five-year limit.
Courses from the full-time program (EN.530.XXX) may substitute a relevant requirement with the advisor approval.
One computationally-oriented course is strongly recommended.
Only one C-range grade (C+, C, or C–) can count toward the master’s degree.
