Plan 1 : Thesis M.S. in Mechanical Engineering

The Master of Science degree is designed to give post-baccalaureate students an in-depth understanding of a specific area within mechanical engineering. Students enrolled in the MS Program must complete a minimum of 24 credit hours of coursework, engage in a research project, and submit and defend a written thesis for the MS program. This thesis option requires 24 credits of approved graduate courses, one-credit of seminar, and six credits of work associated with the master's level thesis, for a total of 31 credits. The final examination will include a final written thesis, an oral examination and a defense.
