Online Programs
MechSE offers two online degree programs: the research-oriented Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (MSME) or the professionally-oriented Master of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering (M.Eng.ME). The degree requirements for the online options are the same as the on-campus options, so the diploma for the online programs is the same diploma awarded to on-campus students.
Additional information regarding our online options can be found on the College of Engineering site. The cost structure for online programs is also explained there.
Online students have a maximum of five years to complete the degree requirements. The M.Eng.ME degree can be completed in as little as one year.
