Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering

The Master of Science (MS) in Mechanical Engineering has options to pursue a general mechanical engineering curriculum or one with concentrations in Materials Science and Engineering, Mechanics and Design, Mechatronic, and Thermofluids Engineering.Northeastern combines rigorous academics with experiential learning and research to prepare students for real-world engineering challenges. The Cooperative Education Program, also known as a “co-op,” is one of the largest and most innovative in the world, and Northeastern is one of only a few that offers a Co-op Program for graduate students. Through this program students gain up to eight months of professional experience employed in their field of interest as part of the academic curriculum, giving them a competitive advantage after graduationGeneral Mechanical Engineering ConcentrationAn ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineeringscientificquantitative problems.An ability to explain and apply engineering design principles, as appropriate to the program’s educational objectives.An ability to produce solutions that meet specified end-user needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.An ability to recognize the engineering toolsprinciples needed for creative thinking and innovation to propel technical development for industrial applications andor scientific research.Mechanics and Design ConcentrationAn ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineeringscientificquantitative problems.
