Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering

Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology

These programs have been designed to build upon a student’s undergraduate background and provide additional depth and breadth in the challenging and versatile profession of Mechanical Engineering. The department offers two graduate path alternatives. The Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (MSME) degree program is a traditional thesis-based approach whereby the student pursues both research and course work culminating in the preparation and oral defense of a written thesis. The Master of Mechanical Engineering (MME) degree is a course-based master’s program, which requires additional coursework in lieu of a traditional thesis.The objective of both programs, the Master of Mechanical Engineering and Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering, is to prepare graduates for early career advancement in the field of Mechanical Engineering by building upon their undergraduate training with advanced coursework and concentrated study of problems and topics relevant to the field.
