Program Overview
The Dual Masters of Science Program in Computer Engineering and Mechanical Engineering is one of the available Dual Graduate Degree Programs at the University of Bridgeport.
The Masters Degree in Computer Engineering is a course of study intended to prepare individuals whose undergraduate background is in computer or electrical engineering for advanced professional work in the field and for further study leading to the doctorate degree.
The Masters Degree in Mechanical Engineering provides advanced study in traditional and contemporary Mechanical Engineering areas such as solid mechanics, structural dynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, mechanical design, computational methods, CAD/CAE/CAM, Ergonomics, Design and Innovation, Intellectual Property and Manufacturing.
Admission to the program requires an undergraduate degree in engineering that includes the following fundamental course work:
- Programming Languages and Techniques
- Data Structures
- Digital Design
- Digital Design Lab
- Computer Organization
- Microprocessors
- Probability and Statistics
- CAD/CAM
- Manufacturing/Design
