Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering
The Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (MSME) degree is intended for students with undergraduate degrees in mechanical engineering or a closely related field, such as aerospace engineering. Students' undergraduate backgrounds should include mechanical engineering core courses in fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, mechanics of materials, dynamics of mechanical systems, systems analysis, machine design, manufacturing, and design. This degree is intended for students presenting themselves as professional mechanical engineers, with academic backgrounds covering both the BSME and MSME curriculum.
Students with undergraduate degrees in physics who would like to earn the MSME degree will be required to complete all of the core undergraduate courses for both the MSE and MSME degrees.
To learn about the MSME curriculum and graduation requirements, view the master's degree procedures.
The student can request that equivalent courses taken elsewhere be used to satisfy these requirements. This requires a petition that includes enough information (normally the course syllabus) to allow the UW Mechanical Engineering course coordinator to determine equivalency.
