Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering

Upon graduation, an AUS MSME graduate should demonstrate the ability to:

• perform research emphasizing creativity, independent learning and scientific methods in a chosen area of mechanical engineering
• apply advanced mathematics and engineering knowledge in identifying, formulating and solving engineering problems
• select and use techniques, skills and modern tools necessary for research or professional practice
• communicate effectively
• recognize the need for, and engage in, life-long learning
• attend to professional and ethical responsibilities

In addition to meeting the university’s general graduate admission requirements, applicants must meet specific requirements of the MSME program. Applicants must hold a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering degree from an independently accredited university recognized by AUS. Degreed individuals in engineering fields or a quantitative science field that is closely related to the sought program may be considered on a case-by-case basis.

An applicant with a bachelor’s degree in technology (or less than four years of university-level work) will not normally be admitted to our program.

Our master of science programs offer you the flexibility to choose one of two paths:

1. Course-Only Option: Complete 10 courses
2. Thesis Option: Complete 7 courses and a thesis
