MS in Computer Science / Mechanical Engineering
The Dual Masters of Science Program in Computer Science and Mechanical Engineering is one of the available Dual Graduate Degree Programs at the University of Bridgeport. The Masters Degree in Computer Science is intended to prepare individuals with a strong mathematical, scientific, or technical background for entry into the computer science field at an advanced level 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 background that includes elementary physics, a calculus sequence, linear algebra and the following fundamental course work in computer science and Mechanical Engineering or related field.
- Programming Languages and Technique
- Data Structures
- Digital Design / Lab
- Discrete Structures
- Computer Organization
- Probability and Statistics
- CAD/CAM
The departments may require students to take make-ups for background deficiencies.
