Master of Science Degree
Degree Highlights
The Master of Science degree is a research-oriented degree for students who either wish to enter industry as practicing professionals or continue for the Ph.D. A thesis is required, which typically involves advanced analysis and/or design a major engineering problem.
The program offers several broad areas of specialization. These include (1) Design and Control; (2) Fluid Mechanics; (3) Mechanics of Solids, Materials and Structures; and (4) Thermal Sciences. The M.S. program, however, allows and encourages a student to include in his/her program of study related courses from any of the areas of specialization and also relevant courses offered by other programs within the Graduate School.
