Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering

Designed for professionally employed engineers and scientists, the Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering increases each student’s knowledge and competence in modern analysis and synthesis techniques as they apply to engineering design. A leader in experiential education: Recognized nationally as a leader in experiential education, the University of New Haven offers an intensive, 30-credit master’s degree program in mechanical engineering. Take advantage of hands-on study both inside and outside of the classroom with studies in thermodynamics, computer-aided engineering, advanced fluid mechanics, system vibrations, and more. Course study is enhanced through a number of interactive, state-of-the-art facilities including our instrumentation laboratory, thermofluids laboratory, solar testing and training laboratory, and more. You will also have the opportunity to choose between a project or thesis option to complete your program with a focus on an area of research of your choosing. You will enjoy small, personalized classes with an average of 15 students per class. Experience the Program with Hands-On Application: Mechanical engineering students can choose the topic for their research projects. A group of students recently opted for the highly relevant and newsworthy topic of renewable, alternative energy sources for their project. Their work explored solar heating of domestic hot water systems, wind turbine energy, and heat pipe theory as it relates to evacuated solar collectors.

Candidates for admission to the Master's program must maintain a grade average of "B" (3.0 on a 4.0 scale) or better in their undergraduate coursework. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) score and/or additional exams are required to be considered for scholarships. International applicants from non-English speaking countries must adhere to the University of New Haven's English proficiency test policy. Additionally, two letters of recommendation, from individuals who can attest to the applicant's potential for graduate study, are required. Applicants holding a bachelor's degree in a field closely related to mechanical engineering, such as aerospace engineering or industrial engineering, may receive consideration for provisional admission. Students accepted provisionally may need to complete additional undergraduate mechanical engineering courses and/or graduate courses.
