机械工程硕士课程的灵活性足以使我们的学生能够将其作为最终学位或攻读博士学位的垫脚石。许多进入计算机工程，纳米技术，软件开发和金融工程等领域。他们还担任生物工程，制造，航天，系统工程以及公司管理和法律方面的职位。还有一些人通过推进资源节约，更高效的能源消耗设备和新能源，成为自然环境的领导者。要在工程学院获得机械工程理学硕士学位，您必须选择机械工程专业并修满30个学分。
Mechanical engineers create the physical systems and devices that define modern society — everything from automobiles to air conditioning, robots to power plants, people movers to artificial limbs, and rocket engines to satellites. At the School of Engineering, we groom our students to become the inventors and innovators of tomorrow, to jumpstart the next generation of entrepreneurial ventures. In short, we help them transform our philosophy of invention, innovation, and entrepreneurship — or i2e — into action.The MS in Mechanical Engineering program is flexible enough for our students to pursue it as a terminal degree or as a stepping stone towards a Ph.D. degree. Many enter such fields as computer engineering, nanotechnology, software development, and financial engineering. They also occupy positions in bioengineering, manufacturing, astronautics, systems engineering, and corporate management and law. Others become leading stewards of the natural environment by advancing resource conservation, more efficient energy consuming devices, and new energy sources.
