Master of Engineering Science
The Master of Engineering Science is a thesis option program that prepares students to independently develop a solution in Mechanical Engineering or other engineering disciplines.
Students should select a department academic advisor, and a graduate committee must be formed before the student has completed 15 semester hours of graduate work. No credit toward a graduate degree will be granted unless approved by the student’s graduate committee.
Why Pursue a Graduate Degree in Mechanical Engineering at ذكذكتسئµ?
Our faculty work with students on a wide range of research topics including materials, corrosion, combustion, multi-physics and scale modeling, design, thermal systems and more.
ذكذكتسئµ University is located in Beaumont, Texas, a major chemical manufacturing center with four refineries and many heavy industrial facilities in the area. Beaumont is a two-hour drive from Houston, a global engineering center and headquarters for many leading companies.
The Mechanical Engineering Department provides several forms of support to graduate students. Qualified masters and doctoral graduate students are often offered a scholarship and instate tuition based on GRE and academic background. The department also offers a limited number of doctoral student assistantships (teaching and research) that provide fee waivers on a merit basis.
