Master of Science

The Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (MS) is for the student wanting to develop independent learning and research skills and function independently as a solver of “arbitrarily” hard engineering problems. The MS is a 2 year, research intensive experience that includes advanced coursework. 

Apply at EngineeringCAS

View Current Program Requirements

The Master of Science (MS) degree with the thesis option requires a minimum of 32 semester credit hours. 

Degree Requirements (Admitted prior to fall 2019)

Degree Requirements (Admitted fall 2019 or later)

 

Program Required Portfolio: Students will prepare a portfolio for assessment. The portfolio will be compiled over the student’s course of study at Texas A&M University. In general, the portfolio will consist of graded materials from classes or research activity that can be evaluated and assessed against the five educational outcomes. The portfolio should be contained in a 3 ring binder or similar.

Educational Outcomes The assessed educational goals of TAMU MEEN Graduate Program are:

  • Graduates will have the ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering,
  • Graduates will have the ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems,
  • Graduates will have the ability to communicate effectively,
  • Graduates will have knowledge of contemporary issues and recognition of the need for lifelong learning, and
  • Graduates will have the ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.

It is strongly recommended that students producing a thesis or dissertation as part of their degree requirements use elements of that work or related research papers as the items used for assessment. Students orally defending their thesis/dissertation are encouraged to use that presentation as the assessment media for Educational Outcome C. Also, the Conclusions and Future Work (or similar) section of their thesis/dissertation is likely example work for assessing Educational Outcome D. M. Eng. students will need to build the portfolio over their course of study as appropriate work samples are produced in various classes.
