  Admission Requirements for the Master of Mechanical Engineering

  Students may enter the Master of Mechanical Engineering program in one of two ways:

  Traditional Students

  Students who are not 色综合久久 Mercy students, or 色综合久久 Mercy students who do not enroll in the five-year bachelor/master program, or 色综合久久 Mercy alumni, must apply for graduate school online. Typical minimum requirements include an undergraduate GPA of 3.0 and a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related discipline from an accredited university. Although the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) is not required, a strong score on the GRE will strengthen the application. In addition, the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), if applicable, while not required as part of the application, is encouraged because its results can be useful in facilitating the admission process.

  Five-Year Bachelor/Master Students

  The five-year bachelor/master degree program is designed to enable completion of both the Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (BME) and the Master of Mechanical Engineering (MME) degrees in five calendar years. The program allows qualified 色综合久久 Mercy Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering students to take up to three graduate level courses during their final three academic semesters that will meet undergraduate degree requirements while also accruing course credits toward their graduate degree.

  More information on the five-year BME-MME program can be found here.

  Master of Mechanical Engineering Degree Requirements (30 credit hours)

  The Master of Mechanical Engineering (MME) degree may be completed either through the thesis or the non-thesis option.  At least half (15 credits) of the program must be selected from graduate-level only options.

  MME Thesis Option

  The thesis option includes 24 credit hours of course work and six credit hours of thesis (MENG 5990) effort for a total of 30 credit hours. The thesis effort is a research project conducted under the supervision of a faculty member and is typically spread across two semesters. After a final formal presentation to the College faculty and students, a properly formatted and duly-approved written thesis must be submitted.

  MME Non-Thesis Option

  The non-thesis option consists of 30 credit hours of course work. An attractive option for students wishing to pursue a topic of their interest is the project-based design course Capstone Design (MENG 5980). This course is conducted under the supervision of a faculty member and the guidance of the departmental faculty. The course assesses the student's ability to synthesize material covered in the graduate curriculum, and culminates in a brief presentation to the departmental faculty.

  Course Requirements

  • ENGR 5020 Design of Experiments OR EMGT 5470 Product and Process Improvement: Lean Six Sigma II (has a prereq of Six Sigma I) (3 credits)  Offered at the graduate-level only.
    
  • ENGR 5300 Advanced Engineering Mathematics, or another advanced mathematics course approved by the department (3 credits)  Offered at the graduate-level only.
  • Six elective courses (18 credits*)
    • All six courses may be taken in MENG, ENGR, and/or AEV*
    • Max of two courses: ELEE and/or MTH
    • Max of one course: EMGT* (any), MPD 5050*, MPD 5100*, MPD 5750*, ENT 5500, ENT 5700
  • Thesis option requirement: MENG 5990 Mechanical Engineering Master's Thesis (6 credits) OR
  • Non-Thesis option requirement: Two additional electives from MENG or ENGR courses. Courses from other areas may be taken if approved by the department. (6 credits)

  *Note: Students must take at least nine elective credits offered as graduate-only (three courses or one course + thesis).  Options include the following: ENGR 5040, ENGR 5060, ENGR 5080, ENGR 5140, ENGR 5480; MENG 5925, MENG 5935, MENG 5945, MENG 5980, MENG 5990 (thesis); AEV-any; EMGT-any; MPD-any;  Others may be taken with advisor/chair approval. Courses noted with * are offered at the graduate-level only.

  Elective Course Options

  Students may choose to complete any of the following optional focal areas:

  Focus in Entrepreneurship

  The Entrepreneurship focus enables students to function in the world of new product development.  This focus is not necessarily geared towards creating entrepreneurs in the traditional sense of venture creation, but instead imbues the student with an entrepreneurial mindset and the associated skillset to be successful value creators in existing enterprises.  Students will be able to: identify and evaluate market opportunities; engage potential customers; develop a business model along with the technology product or service; and, be able to present their work both in engineering as well as business terms.
