The master's program offers core specialization tracks in civil/structural, electrical/computer, and mechanical/energy engineering, allowing students to select their study path with faculty guidance. The program aims to equip students with advanced engineering knowledge for tackling complex real-world challenges while helping working engineers enhance their professional skills. This is achieved through customizable programs tailored to individual goals. The Master of Science in Engineering requires 30 semester units, with at least 21 units from graduate-level coursework. Graduate advisors collaborate with students to create rigorous yet personalized curriculum plans. The program consists of 12 mandatory engineering units, at least 6 elective engineering units, and up to 6 approved non-engineering electives that align with career goals. Students complete their degree through one of two capstone pathways: either a 3-unit research course (ENGR 897) followed by a 3-unit thesis (ENGR 898), or a single 3-unit applied research project course (ENGR 895).
