M.S. in Mechanical Engineering

M.S. in Mechanical Engineering (96 units)

In this program, students take graduate-level courses to build on the fundamentals they learned in their undergraduate mechanical engineering program.

Students choose from a range of fundamental and specialized courses. In-class project experiences allow students to work in teams and apply their skills to real world problems. They may also opt to conduct a small amount of research.

Students are encouraged to take advantage of the many co-curricular engineering and design experiences on campus (such as the MechE Graduate Research Symposium, other college or university-wide research symposia, and organizations such as Carnegie Mellon Racing).

Students with a bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline or equivalent are encouraged to apply to this program.

Each of our master’s programs provides:

• hands-on learning and collaborative problem-solving through project-based courses
• flexibility to tailor your curriculum according to your interests and goals
• ongoing services and programming to enhance communication, leadership, and team-building skills in the Carnegie Mellon and Pittsburgh ecosystems 
• personalized career advising services and networking opportunities to ensure your long term professional success.
