Graduate Programs in Mechanical and Materials Engineering

The Mechanical and Materials Engineering Department currently offers a Master of Engineering (MENG), a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (MSME) and a Master of Science in Materials Science Engineering (MSMSE). Students interested in the Ph.D. degree currently take a Ph.D. in Systems Science with a Mechanical Engineering emphasis. We are currently developing a proposal for a stand alone Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering.
