Students pursuing the M.S.E. degree must complete eight graded courses. Additionally, they are required to produce a satisfactory thesis, which serves as a cornerstone of their graduate studies. This scholarly work represents the synthesis of their academic preparation and research efforts, tackling a significant and practical challenge. The thesis must exhibit proper literary style, clear English expression, and maintain high technical standards—though the scope may be narrower than a Ph.D. dissertation. Typically spanning two years, the M.S.E. program maintains selective enrollment each year, with most participants securing their own funding. The Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department aims to cultivate engineering pioneers through an advanced curriculum that pushes disciplinary boundaries and equips graduates for diverse professional paths. Our approach balances comprehensive foundational knowledge with specialized expertise while emphasizing effective communication. Modern engineering challenges increasingly demand interdisciplinary solutions, and our department has a proven track record of pioneering research that bridges engineering, physics, chemistry, life sciences, and applied mathematics.

Qualification Requirements
All official Transcripts. A bachelor's degree or its foreign equivalent from an accredited college or university. Official transcripts of your grades.
Three letters of recommendation. Applicants are required to upload a transcript (may be unofficial at this time) including the key from all attended colleges or universities.
The transcript must show the name of the student, name of the issuing institution, name of courses taken, and the grades received in those courses.
The Graduate School does not have a minimum TOEFL or IELTS score requirement. If you are offered admission and accept our offer and have scored below a 27 on the Speaking sub-section of the TOEFL iBT or below an 8.0 on the Speaking sub-section of the IELTS you will be required to take an English placement test at the start of the fall term. Students who do not pass the test will be required to enroll in English Language Program classes.
Applications for admission to graduate study are accepted once a year and must specify the department of choice. Normally, a student accepted by Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering is expected to have met requirements for a bachelor's degree in engineering or science. It is not necessary that the degree be in aeronautical or mechanical engineering. Qualified and interested students with degrees in mathematics, materials, physics, chemical, civil, or electrical engineering are also encouraged to apply.
The Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department's graduate programs are not step programs, therefore students are not required to receive an internal or external M.S.E. prior to obtaining a Ph.D. from the department. Applicants interested in pursuing a Ph.D. but who feel that an additional year of training would be beneficial before starting the regular Ph.D. program should indicate an interest in the Pre-Doctoral Fellowship Initiative on the application.
GRE
General Test - not accepted
Additional departmental requirements
The M.Eng. program in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering for academic year 2023-24 is intended only for Princeton seniors in the Class of 2023. We discourage applications from others, who will not be admitted
