Our one-year Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) program provides exceptional flexibility. Offering two distinct tracks, it allows students to tailor their studies to align with personal interests and career aspirations, whether focusing on advanced engineering, computer science, or management coursework. We welcome applicants from all science and engineering backgrounds. Admission requires foundational knowledge including a full year of physics, chemistry, and engineering mathematics (covering linear algebra and differential equations). While research experience isn't mandatory, strong performance in undergraduate materials science and engineering courses enhances application competitiveness. The M.Eng. accommodates both full-time and part-time enrollment, suitable for new graduates and working professionals alike. Most graduates secure industry positions - visit our After UC Davis page to explore alumni career outcomes.
