Master of Science - Professional Track
The Master of Science, Professional Track is designed for individuals seeking advanced study in mechanical engineering. The program is oriented toward full-time students seeking a career in industry, and part-time students currently working in industry.
At the beginning of the program, the student must select at least one of the following study tracks with the purpose of developing mastery of specified knowledge and skills in one or more of the following areas: (1) Advanced Manufacturing and Design; (2) Controls; (3) Dynamics Systems; (4) Fluids Engineering; (5) Thermal Engineering; (6) Solid Mechanics; and (7) Computational and Data-Enabled Engineering. Course plans for each study track can be found here.
Completion of the professional master’s degree requires a total of 30 didactic letter-graded course credits. At least one of the courses must be a mathematics course from the following list:
Students may take up to 9 graduate course credits from other engineering, mathematics, or science departments with the approval of their faculty advisor. Students must maintain a minimum cumulative quality point average (QPA) of 3.0. The minimal graduate level attainment for courses is a C = 2.0 grade.
The most current list of courses in the MEMS Department can be found at the bottom of the Department page .
