With an advanced degree, you will deepen your knowledge about various aspects of mechanical engineering. You will have the opportunity to conduct research and contribute something new to the field by doing experiments to prove or disprove a point and taking part in research publications. Our faculty is dedicated to student success. Small class sizes create a personalized experience for the student and professor, while a wide-range of research topics from various faculty gives students more opportunities to pursue the research that interests them. <br>The Master of Engineering Science is a thesis option program that prepares you to independently solve problems and develop innovative solutions in your selected engineering disciplines. Before completing 15 hours of graduate work, you will select a department academic advisor and form a graduate committee. This committee will determine credit granted toward the your graduate degree.
