MSc in Mechanical Engineering in Orono United States | University of Maine

The Department of Mechanical Engineering provides advanced degree programs culminating in Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy qualifications in Mechanical Engineering. Graduate candidates work closely with their advisory committees to develop personalized academic plans. Key research specializations encompass: Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering, Biomimetics, Composite Materials and Structures, Computational Mechanics, Control Systems and Dynamics, Design Optimization, Fluid Dynamics, Thermal Transfer, Ocean Renewable Energy, Nanoscale Materials and Devices, Offshore Engineering, Simplified Modeling Techniques, Robotic Systems, Adaptive Materials, Solar Thermal Technology, Structural Mechanics, Thermal Physics, Statistical Uncertainty Analysis, and Pedagogy in Engineering. The thesis-based Master of Science program mandates at least six research credits alongside 24 course credits, blending engineering mechanics and thermofluid sciences. Students pursuing interdisciplinary studies may allocate up to 40% of their credits to other university departments. The non-thesis Master's option requires 30 coursework credits and a final comprehensive assessment.
