COURSE CURRICULUM

The Master of Science (M.S.) in Mechanical Engineering is a graduate program that requires the completion of 30 credit hours, typically structured as ten courses covering a range of topics within the field. The curriculum is designed to provide both depth and flexibility, allowing students to tailor their studies according to their interests and career goals. Students are required to complete two engineering mathematics courses, which build a strong analytical foundation essential for advanced engineering work.In addition to the core mathematics requirement, students can choose between a coursework-focused or research-oriented path. They may complete eight graduate electives to fulfill the degree requirements, or opt for six electives along with a thesis, which provides an opportunity to engage in in-depth research under faculty supervision. The elective courses span diverse areas such as acoustics and vibrations, robotics, materials science, additive manufacturing, and microsystems, enabling students to specialize in emerging and high-demand fields.Overall, the program offers a balanced combination of theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and research experience. This flexible structure prepares graduates for careers in engineering industries, research and development, or further academic study, equipping them with the expertise needed to innovate and solve complex mechanical engineering challenges.
