MASTER OF SCIENCE VERSUS MASTER OF ENGINEERING

The Master of Engineering degree emphasizes improvement of essential technical and professional skills, while a traditional Master of Science degree emphasizes research or a comprehensive understanding of a research area. The Master of Engineering program is designed for practicing engineers who are currently employed by a participating company. The MENG degree is offered on-site and affords engineers the opportunity for continuing education without workplace interruptions. The program consists of 28 credit hours:

• 13 credits of Common Core Courses

  • Professional Practice - 1 credit
  • Professional Communication & Information Management - 3 credits
  • Engineering Analysis - 3 credits
  • Computer Methods in Engineering - 3 credits
  • Engineering Project Planning & Management - 3 credits
• A 3 credit Project
• 12 credits of Concentration Courses

Currently, MENG concentrations are in Chemical Engineering, Civil & Environmental Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Metallurgy and Materials Engineering (through the Materials Science & Engineering Department). For information regarding graduate programs in:
