Degrees  >  Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (MSME)

The Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering (M.S.M.E.) has the following minimum course credit-hour requirements. All courses must be at the 4000 level and above.

  With Thesis Without Thesis
Coherent Major Area 12 21

Coherent Minor Area

  • (All course work in the Coherent Major and Minor Areas must be from the College of Computing, Science, and/or Engineering. The minor will not appear on transcripts or degree documentation.)

  • 6 6
    Mathematics 3 3
    Thesis (ME 7000) 9 0
    Total for Degree 30 30


    The minimum coursework requirements must also conform to these criteria:

      With Thesis Without Thesis
    ME xxxx Credits 9 18
    Credits at 6000- Level or above 15 24
    Special Problem Credit (ME 89xx) 0 0 or 3


    Note that ME 6753, ME 6789, and ME 6799 may only be used to satisfy the course work in the coherent minor area. MGT 6165 and BC 6650 may be included in the coherent minor area. ME 6753 and BC 6650 may not be counted together in the coherent minor area. Only courses from the School of Mathematics fulfill the mathematics requirement. The coherent minor area must be distinctly different from the major area. ME xxxx credits do not include thesis credits (ME 7000).

    Any course in which you receive a grade of D or F, any course taken for a nonletter grade (except thesis, transfer credit, or advanced standing), any course required for the B.S.M.E., or more than three hours of course credit taken outside of engineering, math, and basic science (for example, physics, chemistry, applied biology, and computer science) do not meet these course requirements.
