The Master of Engineering is an interdisciplinary degree that allows each student to design an individual curriculum aligned with specific career or personal objectives. This degree requires a coordinated program of 30 credit hours of graduate-level coursework.

Program Requirements

• The program requires a coordinated program of 30 credit hours of graduate-level coursework.
• In coordination with an engineering faculty advisory committee, each student in the program will design a plan of study to meet his or her specific needs and interests.
• The plan must identify multiple outcomes, each of which should be supported by multiple courses in the plan of study.
• The plan must contain at least 21 hours of 6000-level and above engineering courses.
• Students must also take ENGR 7940 Master of Engineering Program Assessment, in which they provide an evaluation of the extent to which the program helped them to meet their objectives.
• There is no thesis requirement, and research and thesis credits cannot be used to meet the requirements of this degree.

Program Structure

• The program is designed to be flexible and allow students to tailor their coursework to their individual goals and interests.
• The program requires students to work closely with an engineering faculty advisory committee to design a plan of study that meets their specific needs and interests.
