| This degree program provides advanced study in traditional and contemporary Mechanical Engineering fields. The traditional concentration areas permits the student to increase his/her knowledge and competence in basic skills necessary to Mechanical Engineering while affording sufficient freedom to provide in-depth study in such areas as solid mechanics, structural dynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, mechanical design and computational methods. The Design Management concentration area prepares the student to succeed in the current Design/Engineering industry and business. Studies include CAD/CAE/CAM, Ergonomics, Design and Innovation, and Intellectual Property and Technology. The Manufacturing Management concentration area provides advanced study in Manufacturing to individuals who are interested in the Manufacturing field. This permits students to have up-to-date knowledge, hands-on experience and strong competence in world-class manufacturing environments. Course work emphasizes global corporate and business practices, and Manufacturing Shop Floor environments. |

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS |
| |
The Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering is intended to prepare individuals with a strong mathematical, scientific, or technical background for entry into the Mechanical Engineering field at an advanced level and for further study leading to the doctorate. Admission to the program requires a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering and/or design curriculum and make up of any deficiencies in previous training. Furthermore, an undergraduate background that includes elementary physics and calculus sequences, and linear algebra is required. The Design Management concentration area also requires a substantial proficiency in design to be demonstrated via previous design training or work experience. The Manufacturing Management concentration area requires an engineering/business background with substantial industrial experience. Applicants are expected to have an average of B or better in their undergraduate coursework.
