Learning Objectives
The objective of the M.E. degree program is to advance the student’s technical and professional skills.
Admission
Requirements for admission to the Graduate School, including English proficiency, may be found in the Admission section of this Bulletin.
In addition, applicants to the graduate program in mechanical engineering must have a baccalaureate degree in engineering from an accredited institution. Successful applicants typically have a minimum score of 148 (or 600 for tests prior to August 1, 2011) on the Quantitative Reasoning Section of the GRE General Test.
An undergraduate grade-point average of at least 3.0 is normally required.

Probationary status is removed by completing nine hours of approved graduate study with a 3.0 grade point average within a specified time period.

All courses taken for graduate credit in this program shall be selected from those offered by the Graduate School and are subject to the approval of the advisor.
At least one 6000 or 7000-level course in thermal sciences and one in solid mechanics areas are required.
