Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (MS ENME)
Type:
GraduateDegree:
M.S.Description:
The master of science (MS) in mechanical engineering is designed to advance the student’s knowledge in several areas of engineering. This degree provides breadth through its flexible minor or technical elective requirement, while permitting the student to achieve depth in one of several areas of specialization; specifically these areas are fluid mechanics and heat transfer, mechanical design and analysis, and structure and behavior of materials.
These areas of specialization have been selected to coincide with those of high current interest as well as those emerging technologies that hold promise of increasing importance for the future. The purpose of these programs is to serve the profession of engineering and the Colorado community through advanced study in mechanical engineering and related fields. This program prepares the student for academic and industrial advancement. This programs offer a thesis and a non-thesis option.

ADMISSION TO THE MS (ME) PROGRAM
A bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering (BSME) or closely related field is required for admission to the MS (ME) program. Those students whose backgrounds differ significantly from EAC/ABET-accredited BS mechanical engineering program may be required to complete prerequisite undergraduate courses; such courses are not considered part of the 45-credit-hour requirement for the degree. A competency examination may be required of MS (ME) candidates who do not possess a 3.0 GPA or a BS in mechanical, civil, aerospace or materials science or materials engineering from an EAC/ABET-accredited program. Students with BS degrees in physics, mathematics, computer science, engineering science, electrical or mechanical engineering technology, engineering physics or similar bachelor of science degrees may also be admitted. However, these students should be able to demonstrate competency in the following basic subjects by passing an appropriate competency examination:
MS (ME)
• Mechanics
• Thermodynamics
• Fluid Mechanics
• Materials Science
Students may be admitted provisionally while they take the appropriate prerequisite courses should it be determined from the competency examination or from the prior academic records that certain needed skills are lacking. Through the satisfactory completion of the stated provisional requirements, the student’s status will be changed from provisional to regular status.
