Master of Science [M.S] [Mechanical Engineering] From California State Polytechnic University

The Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (MSME) program is a response to the increasing demand of mechanical engineers in the more advanced and rapidly developing fields such as Computer Aided Design using finite element methods, Computational Thermal and Fluid Sciences and the area of Energy Management. This program allows students to acquire specialized knowledge and research skills for the advanced work in their chosen area of concentration. Also, this program requires a student to complete either an engineering project that involves exploration of practical realistic problems of the industry, or a thesis that demonstrates their capability to perform independent research work, or additional coursework along with a comprehensive exam to enable further directed specialization of the student in advanced engineering principles. These options provide students flexibility in their graduate study to meet a wide variety of emergent engineering needs.
