Mechanical Engineer's Degree
Overview
The Mechanical Engineer’s degree provides an opportunity for further study beyond the Master’s level. This degree emphasizes breadth of knowledge in mechanical engineering and its economic and social implications; it is not a stepping-stone toward the PhD. There is no direct admission process to the Mechanical Engineer’s degree; students admitted to the MechE SM and PhD programs are eligible to pursue this degree.
The overall course of study and thesis must comprise a coherent program in Mechanical Engineering. The candidate is required to prepare a plan of study and to submit it to the MechE Graduate Office for approval by the Engineer’s Degree Coordinator, Professor Jung-Hoon Chun. The student will be considered a Mechanical Engineer’s Degree candidate when this plan is approved.
Funding
The Mechanical Engineer’s degree is expected to be fully-funded.
