The CU Denver Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering program expands upon core concepts typically covered in undergraduate mechanical engineering studies. Participants can select from four specialization tracks. The initial three tracks allow students to focus on thermal science, mechanics, or biomechanics. At CU Denver's College of Engineering, Design and Computing, we deliver thorough engineering instruction across undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs. Our faculty engage in research across five key areas: civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering, bioengineering, and computer science and engineering. Through partnerships with statewide industries, our labs and research initiatives provide valuable hands-on learning experiences that prepare students for professional success.
Upon fulfilling the required coursework for any specialization, students may 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 mechanics specialization mandates four core courses (12 credit hours) covering analytical methods, numerical methods, elasticity, and dynamics, plus three elective courses (9 credit hours) from approved mechanics-related options.
