The CU Denver Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering program expands upon the core principles typically covered in undergraduate mechanical engineering studies. Participants can select from four specialized tracks within each study plan. The initial three tracks allow students to focus on thermal sciences, mechanics, or biomechanics. At CU Denver's College of Engineering, Design and Computing, we dedicate ourselves to delivering thorough engineering education across undergraduate, graduate, and professional levels. Our faculty engage in research across five key areas: civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering, bioengineering, as well as computer science and engineering. Through partnerships with statewide industries, our labs and research initiatives provide students with practical experience essential for professional success.
Upon fulfilling the coursework for any of the four 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 thermal science concentration mandates four core courses (12 credit hours) covering analytical methods, numerical methods, fluid mechanics, and thermodynamics, plus three elective courses (9 credit hours) chosen from approved thermal science options.
