Overview
The MSE program enables graduate engineering professionals to further their problem-solving skills through the application of advanced engineering principles and methods. The strength of this program is in its flexibility. The program offers students the opportunity to advance their quantitative skills through a series of modeling-based courses and provides for their choice of specialty courses in electrical engineering or mechanical engineering and/or other related fields. The program allows for breadth and depth of engineering topics and culminates in either a project or final paper where the student must integrate the knowledge and skills learned in the program.
The MSE is aimed toward engineers who are involved with industrial projects. The program’s major emphasis is on the further development of engineering knowledge and skills to enhance the productivity of the practicing engineer. It provides a flexible platform for students to take either an integrated approach or a specialized approach to meet the demands of their engineering practice.
Courses include topics such as system dynamics, numerical methods, discrete event simulation, quality engineering, microelectromechanical systems, experimental stress analysis, computational fluid mechanics, fatigue and fracture, specialty electric machines, power systems and quality, data communications, neural networks, embedded systems, modern control systems, and fluid power systems.
A six-credit capstone engineering project option is included as part of the program. A non-project option is also available, which includes one specialty course and a three-credit engineering specialty paper.
Program Educational Objectives
- Graduates create new value in a process or product at their workplace through application of advanced engineering skills and knowledge
- Graduates advance in their careers as a direct result of completing the degree
Student Learning Outcomes
Graduates of the MSE program will:
- Be able to utilize advanced mathematics, with a primary focus on numerical methods and models, to solve engineering problems involving multivariate differential systems
