Union Graduate College MS Mechanical Engineering Degree Description
The Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering Degree requires a total of ten courses. Three of the courses will form a core in mechanical engineering and must be taken by all students at the start of their program:
- MER 502 Engineering Analysis;
- MER 500 Elasticity; and
- MER 501 Transport Phenomena.
Union Graduate College requires that five of the remaining seven courses must be in the mechanical engineering major at the 500 level. The remaining two courses are selected from engineering (mechanical or electrical), computer science, and mathematics. One of these two courses may be selected from the MBA program. Not all courses from these areas are satisfactory selections; therefore all course selections must be approved by the graduate advisor before course registration. Each student must submit a program plan of study (to be approved by the advisor) before completion of the first course taken for graduate credit.
For graduate students who wish to concentrate in a specific area, the department offers course selections in the thermal-fluids and solid mechanics areas. Students wishing to focus on the thermal-fluids area may choose from among the following courses: MER 534, 536, 537, 538, 540, 550, 552, 554, 560.
Students wishing to focus on the mechanics area may choose from among the following courses: MER 506, 507, 508, 509, 510, 512, 515, 516, 525, 532.
Students wishing to focus on energy systems may choose from a growing technology program in the field of energy conversion, such as fuel cells, photovoltaics, and turbine design: MER 580, 580A, 580B.
Full-time master degree candidates are required to conduct Mechanical Engineering Research and Thesis for two courses. Part time graduate study students can complete the degree by taking 10 courses and the Graduate Project in Mechanical Engineering. Students also have the option of replacing one or two courses with independent research conducted in the form of a Master’s Project (one course) or a thesis (2 courses) with departmental approval. All Union Graduate College students, either part-time or full-time, intending to do Research and Thesis must consult the department for appropriate guidance. Part-time students not completing a Master's Project or thesis or independent study are required to complete an MS Graduate Project in Mechanical Engineering. This is a non-credit, no-fee Project that serves as the culminating experience of the MS in Mechanical Engineering degree.
