The CU Denver Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering program expands upon the core principles typically covered in undergraduate mechanical engineering studies. Participants in each track can select from four specialization paths. The initial three pathways allow students to focus on thermal sciences, mechanical systems, or biomechanics. At CU Denver's College of Engineering, Design and Computing, we prioritize delivering a thorough engineering education across undergraduate, graduate, and professional levels. Our faculty engage in research encompassing all five disciplines: civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering, bioengineering, as well as computer science and engineering. The college partners with statewide industries, offering students valuable hands-on experience through our laboratories and research initiatives to prepare them for professional success.
Upon fulfilling the coursework for any of the four specialization tracks, students can choose additional mechanical engineering graduate courses to meet credit requirements. With advisor approval, they may also enroll in relevant graduate courses outside the mechanical engineering curriculum. The general mechanical engineering track mandates completion of six courses (18 credit hours) covering analytical methods, numerical analysis, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, material elasticity, and mechanical dynamics.
