Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (Non-Thesis)

About

You’ll gain the enhanced know-how you need to unlock solutions that make people’s lives better. And the ability to apply mechanical engineering techniques in a range of fields from manufacturing and the medical sector, to the automotive, aerospace and construction industry. Our programme is designed in collaboration with industry, so you’ll learn the up-to-date and relevant skills the sector needs. Skills such as six sigma, sustainability, research and project management. You’ll also carry out an individual design or research and development project – including opportunities to work on real-world engineering projects. You’ll build critical digital skills. Our mechanical engineering students have open access to our state-of-the-art facilities such as our 3D printing and robotics labs. So you can practise and hone your practical engineering skills in your own time, too.  Master's students in mechanical engineering earn 30 semester credits (32 semester credits for the non-thesis option) of work beyond the baccalaureate degree. Each student is paired with a faculty adviser whose activities parallel his or her own interests, and together they design an individualized program of study. Course requirements are therefore based on personal goals, while also providing coherent, in-depth study of a particular area of mechanical engineering. Main areas of graduate study in mechanical engineering include systems and controls, engineering mechanics, materials, and thermal-fluid sciences. Students in the department are encouraged to take at least one mechanical engineering course outside the main area of interest to develop some breadth in their graduate education. you’ll build critical digital skills. Our mechanical engineering students have open access to our state-of-the-art facilities such as our 3D printing and robotics labs.
