Mechanical Engineering
Helping You Bring Your Best to Mechanical System Design
Mechanical engineering involves the analysis, design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. It encompasses a wide range of advanced topics, including the design and operation of innovative energy conversion devices, sensors, sensor networks, and process control. The program focuses on the development of advanced materials for the mechanical analysis of nanoscale and biological systems, as well as computer-aided design for highly engineered systems. The Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) in Mechanical Engineering program is a 30-credit online graduate degree that prepares graduates for significant roles in the mechanical engineering sector. You can choose from two tracks within the Mechanical Engineering concentration: Systems and Mechanics, or Thermal and Fluid Sciences.
