Master of Engineering in Manufacturing Engineering
This program is aimed at broadening student potential beyond the B.S., enhancing technical versatility and, in some instances, providing the opportunity for changes in career path. The master of engineering program is a course-only degree program and requires a minimum of 30 credit hours. There is no thesis or comprehensive examination requirement. The student, in consultation with their adviser, prepares a program of study that reflects individual needs and interests. The adviser, as well as the department’s graduate studies committee, and the department chair must approve this program. Students working toward this degree are not eligible for departmental financial support.
