Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering

The Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering program is based on 30-semester units of which at least 21 units must be earned from graduate-level courses. Students will work closely with a faculty advisor to develop a curriculum plan that ensures academic rigor while at the same time meeting the needs of the student. The curriculum includes 6 units of required engineering courses and a minimum of 9 units of elective engineering courses. A maximum of 6 units of elective non-engineering courses may be applied to the degree requirements with the consent of the faculty advisor if they are consistent with the student’s program of study. There are two options for the culminating experience. One option involves 3-6 units of research (course ENGR 897, which may be taken once or twice) followed by a 3-unit thesis course (ENGR 898). The other option is to complete a 3?unit applied research project course (ENGR 895).
