Master of Science in Mechanical EngineeringThe MSME program is designed as a course of study to provide graduate engineers with a deeper and broader understanding of the methods and skills in the area of mechanical engineering. For this purpose, MSME incorporates knowledge across three ME domains, and takes advantage of the Master's degree programs in Electrical and Computer Engineering and in Management of Technology.
The program outcomes are achieved throught knowledge and skills that students gain by virtue of expert curriculum design, instruction in an effective learning environment, and opportunities for inquiry and professional development. Students will have the option to specialize in one of the following broad ME domains:
- Design, Dynamics and Control Systems. This domain includes courses in vibrations, distributed systems, advanced kinematics and dynamics, and control systems.
- Materials and Manufacturing. This domain spans the topics of engineering materials, design and manufacturing, structural analysis, finite elements, matrials science, mechanical behavior of materials, composite materials.
- Fluids and Thermal Sciences. This domain includes instruction in fluid mechanics, heat transfer and thermodynamics, turbo machinery, heat exchangers, and energy conversion.
Students will be able to identify, formulate and solve advanced mechanical engineering problems. They will also learn to use the techniques, skills, and modern analytical and software tools necessary for the mechanical engineering practice. Sequences of electives, as well as a Masters Project/Thesis, assist in achieving the program's learning goals.
