Few careers spark innovation as powerfully as mechanical and aerospace engineering. Whether advancing aviation or pioneering sustainable energy, we continually develop groundbreaking solutions that bridge scientific discovery with real-world applications. Inspired by our tangible impact on daily life, we're committed to harnessing creativity to tackle 21st-century challenges. Embark on an exhilarating path of discovery, invention, and leadership where your potential knows no bounds.
Our graduate program fosters professional growth through technical coursework, hands-on design and research collaborations with faculty, specialized training for allied fields, mentored independent study, and interdisciplinary preparation for diverse career paths in mechanical engineering.
An overall GPA, as calculated by the Graduate School, of 3.0 or higher in undergraduate coursework is required for admission to the M.S. program. (For some international applicants where GPA calculations based on a 4.0 system are not performed, a minimum performance level of 65 percentile. This minimum expectation may be higher for some countries, where less stringent grading criteria are used.) Performance in core Mechanical Engineering courses is of particular importance.
A GRE score of at least 146 (verbal) and 155 (quantitative) for M.S. applicants.
For applicants whose native language is not English:   All students admitted in the program must meet the minimum university  English language requirements as detailed in the general admission requirements section of the catalog. However, meeting the minimum requirement does not guarantee admission.  The program will give preference to students with IELTS score of 6.5, or TOEFL-iBT total score of 84.
Students who are currently enrolled in either the Master of Engineering or Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering program may be admitted to the BS-Ph.D program in Mechanical Engineering after completing 15 hours of graduate mechanical engineering lecture coursework with a GPA of 3.6 or higher in addition to satisfying the same admission requirements as the BS-Ph.D. program.
