Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering

Deepen your knowledge of the fundamentals of analysis, design, manufacture and improvement of machines. Engineering principles are applied not only to traditional equipment and methods but also to modern and emerging technologies. Typically, the engineering course work and research are augmented by laboratory studies. Although the study of advanced engineering mathematics and, often, basic science is necessary in all programs of study, the selection of subjects may vary depending upon the field of specialization and the student's professional objectives. Upon enrolling in the master of science program in mechanical engineering, a student selects one of three areas of specialization: energy systems, manufacturing and materials systems, or mechanical systems. During the first term, a curriculum, along with a research program, is designed with an academic adviser which is specific to the goals of the individual student. Apply knowledge of specialized mechanical engineering concepts in engineering analysis and design in a chosen area of specialization. Effectively communicate ideas on design and analysis to peers, clients and customers.

Copies of previous transcripts from colleges/universities except Marquette.* Three letters of recommendation. A brief statement of purpose (not required for master of engineering and M.E. applicants). For doctoral students, we require copies of any published work, including master\u2019s thesis and essays. GRE scores scores (general test only). Scores from the GRE exam are a requirement of admission for all students in the master's, doctoral and accelerated degree programs. For international applicants only: TOEFL score or other acceptable proof of English proficiency. An IELTS total score of 6.5 or higher will be required for admission. TOEFL score of at least 213 on the computer-based version or 80 on the internet-based version (a minimum of 20 on each section). The minimum acceptable undergraduate (or graduate, where applicable) GPA is 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
