Materials Science and Engineering
Materials science and engineering bridges the gap between fundamental physics and applied engineering. Conduct cutting-edge research in materials design and characterization to solve critical engineering challenges. Our curriculum provides the specialized technical expertise needed to optimize materials for high-performance systems and advanced manufacturing.
Master of Science
Students seeking an MS in mechanical engineering have two degree paths available to them:
Thesis Option
A combination of coursework and research. This is the standard path for those pursuing R&D or future PhD work.
Non-Thesis Option
30 hours of graduate coursework.
PhD
The PhD program requires a minimum of 72 credit hours beyond the bachelor’s degree. These must include a minimum of 24 hours in Doctoral Research and Dissertation (MSE 600).
