Acquiring and Applying Advanced Engineering Principles and Methods
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. It allows for breadth and depth of engineering topics and culminates in either a project or final paper. The program offers students the opportunity to advance their quantitative skills through a series of mathematics and modeling-based courses and provides for their choice of specialty courses in engineering.
The MSE program spans electrical engineering, mechanical
engineering and industrial engineering fields. It is based on the philosophy
that there is a need for engineers who can solve technical problems within a
variety of disciplines. The MSE program's major emphasis is on the further
development of engineering knowledge and skills in an effort to enhance the
productivity of the practicing engineer. The program provides a flexible
platform for students to take either an integrated approach or a specialized
approach to meet the demands of their engineering practice. The coursework
emphasizes presentation of engineering concepts and theory through applications.
MSE Program Curriculum
The MSE program
is for individuals with bachelor's degrees in engineering, engineering
technology or other closely related areas. Each student works with the program
director or faculty advisor to plan a course of study tailored to his or her
needs. Individual degree requirements are dependent upon the type of bachelor's
degree. Students with a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical or electrical
engineering, mechanical or electrical engineering technology, or a substantially similar degree
from an accredited program are typically required to complete a total of 45
graduate credits. Each course typically
meets once per week for 11 weeks. Occasionally, select classes will meet twice
weekly.
MS Program
Options
Each student completes either a Capstone
Project or a Specialty Paper.
The Engineering Project
Option can either draw from the multiple disciplines studied within the
program or can focus more on technical areas within the student's chosen
engineering discipline. In consultation
with a faculty advisor, each student develops an engineering project proposal
and presents it for approval before a committee. Students can choose from electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or, in some cases, fluid power for their project study.
The Non-Project Option
will require a two-course sequence in 700 or 800 level EE/ME specialty courses
and a final course (GE 791) in which a specialty paper is written. In this final course, each student completes
a paper analysis/design of certain aspect of the chosen specialty and presents
it both orally and in writing.
The MSOE Advantage
An MSOE degree is widely respected. Classes are taught by professors
with solid industry experience. You won't find teaching assistants in the
classroom. Class sizes are small, which encourages interaction and networking.
All classes are offered evenings, which makes it convenient for the working
professional.
