We are committed to providing students with a high-quality, dynamic graduate education that integrates engineering technologies into workplace solutions with a convenient class schedule that complements your work/life balance. Our graduates are sought by both local and global employers.
The following programs are offered in the School of Engineering:
The M.S. in Electrical Engineering is an industry-oriented, career-focused and applied graduate program blends theory and research with practical engineering fundamentals. Courses are designed with considerable input from industry leading professionals and are taught by faculty who are currently working as engineers or have had significant experience in the field. Students receive the in-depth technical skills needed to make immediate and meaningful contributions. Our flexible master's curriculum offers four different degree concentrations to choose from depending on your career goals, educational background, industry experience and expertise. Each concentration allows students to customize their educational experience.
The M.S. in Engineering Management program empowers those seeking to advance into leadership roles within technical-centric organizations. Through our core and elective courses, you will gain strategic thinking and visioning skills, develop fluency and competency in the basics of business operations beyond your technical knowledge, and learn about critical processes and tools necessary for managing complex technologies within a variety of companies.
The M.S. in Manufacturing Engineering program offers professionals with engineering, science or liberal arts backgrounds an opportunity to strengthen their engineering management and leadership skills. Through study of best practices and ideas in the context of real-world manufacturing and service systems, students gain the skills and confidence to handle daily operations and make better decisions.
The M.S. in Mechanical Engineering program is designed for those interested in advanced engineering concepts and tools. Courses cover areas such as energy and power systems, fluids and heat transfer, product design, modeling and simulation, materials, and manufacturing.
The M.S. in Regulatory Science program is designed for those interested in transitioning into the field of Regulatory Science. It is also intended for new regulatory professionals who recognize the need to acquire a broader understanding of regulatory requirements and how to achieve them. The program covers submissions, clinical studies, quality systems, international submissions, device manufacturing, combination products and other regulatory topics.
The M.S. in Systems Engineering program is applications-oriented and designed to enable the student to transition from the role of a domain-expert Engineer to a Systems Engineer, and is intended for people who need to design, develop and manage large and complex systems in industry. Major emphasis is placed on System Design, Verification & Validation, Simulation, and Project Management.
