Mechanical Engineering Master's

Work in world-class facilities and collaborate with talented, experienced faculty. Our multidisciplinary research and learning environment focuses on manufacturing, materials science, mechanical design, thermal sciences, and aerospace applications. You'll graduate prepared to make an immediate impact in the field of mechanical engineering.

Mechanical Engineering Master's Programs

UND offers graduate degrees in both Mechanical Engineering Master of Science (M.S.) and Master of Engineering (M.Eng.). Both degrees are offered online or on-campus. Please connect with the Department of Mechanical Engineering before making a final decision.

Both degrees can incorporate an:

• Interdisciplinary perspective such as bioengineering or environmental engineering, or
• Focus on design, including:
  • Manufacturing processes
  • Vibrations
  • Stress analysis
  • Materials
  • Power
  • Fluid mechanics
  • Heat transfer
  • Thermodynamics
  • Combustion

M.S. in Mechanical Engineering

The M.S. (thesis option) requires a research project and thesis. The M.S. (non-thesis option) requires an independent study with a written report and a comprehensive final examination.

M.Eng. in Mechanical Engineering

The M.Eng. is geared toward practice and is 100% course based. The degree is popular among distant students. Small class sizes — typically 10-15 students — mean you'll have easy access to advisors and build a quick rapport with your class.
