Career Opportunities

Graduates are prepared for doctoral study or industrial positions that specialize in research, project management, and product innovation in mechanical engineering. Professionals with a mechanical engineering master's degree have strong opportunities at most levels in mechanical engineering in research, design, and manufacturing at companies of all sizes as well as national laboratories (Department of Energy, Department of Defense, NASA). Analytical skills learned in mechanical engineering are also valued for other non-engineering positions.


Career Examples
