The MSE program consists of 30 credit hours and the option of the following concentrations: electrical and computer engineering or mechanical engineering.  Students may elect to complete one of two formats:

  • Core courses, a concentration area, electives
  • Core courses, a concentration area, a project, electives

This degree is designed to prepare engineers for advanced engineering technology and science, leadership, and management responsibilities by completing a customized 30 credit hour semester program of study that can include an optional research project.  Students choose a home department (electrical and computer engineering or mechanical engineering), but many classes can be taken in different areas.  In addition to courses in computer engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering, graduate classes are also available in business, computer science, mathematics, and project management.  Here are some of the available areas of study:
