机械工程理学硕士

MS学位被认为是学术性的或基础性的，非常适合希望准备专业职业并衡量其攻读博士学位的能力的学生。在没有超出MSS学生所需时间的情况下，完成MS学位的学生将根据学生和担任学术顾问的教授选择的研究主题撰写论文。根据共同的利益和需求选择主题。课程工作通常侧重于与研究主题相关的主题。相应的论文必须由顾问以及该系系的另外两名委员会成员（硕士委员会）批准，并由学生单独撰写。论文答辩将提交给该委员会。伦斯勒理工学院（Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute）在机械工程学（ME）方面获得国家认可的研
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's nationally recognized graduate program in Mechanical Engineering (ME), is known for both the ingenuity of our researchers and the quality of our students. Mechanical Engineering is home to over 150 graduate students from more than 9 countries on 3 continents who pursue M.S., M. Eng., or Ph. D. degrees. Working professionals are welcomed, and many pursue M. Eng. degrees taught in a blended format between online and face-to-face instruction.<br><br>ME program's PhD research focuses on fundamental and modern topics within four broad areas in Mechanics and Materials, Thermal and Fluids Engineering, Design and Manufacturing, and Dynamics and Control, complemented by three cross-cutting research areas in Energy Science and Engineering, Materials, Materials Processing and Controls, and Human Health and Safety. Potential PhD applicants are encouraged to browse the faculty research lab websites for more information on specific research topics and faculty advisors<br><br>The M.S. degree is perceived to be scholarly or fundamental and is well suited to students who wish to prepare for a professional career and also to measure their ability to pursue a Ph.D. without commitment of extra time beyond that required for an M.S.<br><br>Students completing the M.S. degree will write a thesis based on a research topic chosen by the student and a professor who serves as the academic adviser. The topic is chosen based on mutual interests and needs. Course work typically focuses on subjects related to the research topic. The corresponding thesis, independently written by the student as a single author, must be approved by the adviser as well as two additional committee members from the department's faculty (Master's Committee). A thesis defense will be presented to this committee.
