Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering - Mechanics and Materials

The graduate program in mechanical engineering from Drexel Engineering prepares professionals for applying deepened skillsets and knowledge that will further their career. A mechanical engineering master’s degree prepares professionals to take on the rapid changes in design, construction and use of machines due to advances in computing, materials, manufacturing and communications. As a student, you will explore the frontiers of the human-machine interface that seek to address challenges in the industry or as well as in society and our daily lives.A mechanical engineering graduate program should provide an understanding of the forces governing industry, a global viewpoint, and the entrepreneurial, teambuilding and managerial abilities needed to advance careers in industry and research or prepare for entry into a PhD program in mechanical engineering or a related field.The 45-credit program can be completed in eighteen (18) months on a full-time basis, or on a part-time basis in typically 3-4 yearsExplore the foundation of many engineering disciplines through a combination of engineering physics, mathematics and materials science for use in design, analysis, manufacturing, simulation, testing and maintenance of mechanical, biomechanical and microelectromechanical (MEMS) systems from the material to the structural scale. Theoretical, experimental and computational methods are used to support the course offerings in this area.
