The Mechanical Engineering Master of Science program requires 30 semester units, with a minimum of 21 units from graduate-level coursework. Students collaborate with faculty advisors to create tailored curriculum plans that balance academic challenge with individual goals. The program consists of 6 mandatory engineering units and at least 9 elective engineering units. With advisor approval, up to 6 elective non-engineering units may count toward degree requirements if aligned with the student's academic focus. For the final requirement, students choose between two paths: completing 3-6 research units (ENGR 897, repeatable once) plus a 3-unit thesis (ENGR 898), or undertaking a 3-unit applied research project (ENGR 895).

Qualification Requirements
The School of Engineering also requires two letters of recommendation from persons familiar with the student's previous academic work or professional accomplishments. Applicants whose preparatory education was principally in a language other than English must satisfy one of the following: a minimum score of 24/30 on the TOEFL writing section, an IELTS score of 7.0, or a Pearson Test of English score of 65 (if one of these are not satisfied, an applicant may be conditionally accepted but must complete SCI 614 within the first year of attendance at SF State). Graduate Record Exam (GRE) scores are not required but will be considered as part of the admissions package for applicants who wish to submit them.
Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree in engineering or a closely related discipline, with a minimum GPA of 3.0 in upper-division major classes, in addition to meeting general university requirements for graduate standing.
