Mechanical and Energy Engineering Graduate Minor draft draft

Program Overview

With small class sizes and renowned faculty, students delve into advanced MEEN courses, enhancing their understanding of complex engineering problems. The program emphasizes hands-on learning through project-oriented curricula, state-of-the-art labs, and industry collaborations, preparing graduates for future careers in various engineering fields.

Program Outline

Degree Overview:

A minor in mechanical and energy engineering is available for non-MEE majors. The minor consists of 12 credit hours of 5000 level or higher MEEN courses offered by the Department of Mechanical Engineering and approved by the graduate advisor.

Teaching:

With small class sizes, you can work closely with distinguished faculty members to solve complex problems faced by businesses and consumers. Our faculty members have been honored by various organizations such as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers.

Other:

UNT is constantly assessing its degree programs with an eye on tomorrow’s marketplace. The College of Engineering is a pioneer in developing project-oriented curricula, allowing you to apply knowledge in interesting and tangible real-world applications. Our state-of-the-art laboratories and research facilities are the envy of universities nationwide. You also will have the opportunity to network through valuable contacts we have established with leading companies and corporate partners. The Department of Mechanical Engineering also offers a Graduate Academic Certificate in Energy designed to meet the increasing demands of students with a comprehensive understanding of energy engineering, social/environmental studies, energy policy, economics, and management. This program will also be unique in the State of Texas and among only a few in the US. Students earning one of our degrees can concurrently enroll in the Graduate Academic Certificate for dual credit. The department offers state-of-the-art facilities ranging from a variety of instructional laboratories to research facilities including the Net Zero Energy (ZØE) Research Laboratory and the Engineering Manufacturing Facility. These facilities allow our faculty and students to work side-by-side on industry-sponsored, cutting-edge graduate research. Many students seek internships or work part time in area industries given our proximity to the metroplex.
