Master of Science in Engineering - Mechanical Engineering (Mechanics and Materials)

The master's degree in mechanical engineering is the oldest graduate program at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. The program combines engineering practice with analysis. Approximately two thirds of the program requirements are in the broad area of mechanical engineering, where a student can freely select among courses in such areas as mechanical and thermal/fluid sciences, materials, manufacturing, automotive technology, instrumentation, and controls. The remainder of the courses are spread over mathematics, cognates, and distribution requirements. A thesis option is also available. Students must complete 30 credit hours to receive a Master of Science in Engineering (MSE) degree in mechanical engineering. The materials and solid mechanics faculty in Mechanical Engineering are a diverse group of experimentalists, theoreticians and computational experts. We work on many cutting-edge problems, as well as some long-standing classical problems, drawn from materials physics (broadly defined), biology and automotive engineering.
