Masters of Science
The Master’s of Science (M.S.) degree includes both coursework and research, culminating in a thesis that constitutes an original contribution to knowledge in mechanical engineering. Students in the M.S. program work closely with a faculty advisor to develop and execute their research project. The curriculum (table below) is designed to give graduate students a strong foundation in advanced mathematics and mechanics, while also giving students the flexibility to explore topics of interest. More information on the program can be found in the Student Handbook.
