Master of Science ProgramThe Mechanical Engineering Department is dedicated to delivering up-to-date, high quality courses across a broad range of the discipline to meet the needs of both part- and full-time graduate students. These courses are concentrated in five technical areas:
Educational efforts are channeled to expand the skills of prospective and practicing engineers not only in understanding fundamentals, but also in developing competence in analyzing engineering systems. The department offers graduate degrees at the Master's, Engineer's, and Doctorate levels, as well as Certificates. All students in the Mechanical Engineering MS Program are required to take MECH 200 and 201 or MECH 202 at the beginning of their program of studies and must complete at least two sequences of two courses in applied mathematics. All students must also satisfy the professional practice requirement. Students must select one of the five options and develop a program of studies with an advisor (names of faculty available under each option are listed after the program title). The requirements for all options may be adjusted on the basis of the student's previous work; however, any adjustment must be approved by the departmental advisor. All full-time students are required to complete a thesis or Capstone project for their degree. Space SystemsThis program of studies is based on the Lockheed Martin-Santa Clara University Program, which is described in detail here. |
