The mechanical engineering master's program stands as the longest-running graduate offering at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. This curriculum blends hands-on engineering with theoretical study. Roughly 70% of the coursework focuses on mechanical engineering's diverse fields, allowing students to choose from subjects like mechanical systems, thermal/fluid dynamics, materials science, production methods, automotive applications, measurement techniques, and control systems. The remaining credits cover mathematics, related disciplines, and general education components. Learners pursuing a Master of Science in Engineering (MSE) in mechanical engineering must fulfill 30 credit hours, with a thesis option available. Much of our thermal sciences investigation targets automotive applications, particularly advancing eco-friendly innovations. Study areas encompass combustion processes, thermal energy exchange, cooling systems, and thermoelectric power generation. Our research teams collaborate extensively with various U-M departments, including Chemical, Biomedical, and Aerospace Engineering, as well as the Applied Physics initiative.
