The Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (MSME) degree is intended for students with undergraduate degrees in mechanical engineering or a closely related field, such as aerospace engineering. Students' undergraduate backgrounds should include mechanical engineering core courses in fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, mechanics of materials, dynamics of mechanical systems, systems analysis, machine design, manufacturing, and design. This degree is intended for students presenting themselves as professional mechanical engineers, with academic backgrounds covering both the BSME and MSME curriculum. Students with undergraduate degrees in physics who would like to earn the MSME degree will be required to complete all of the core undergraduate courses for both the MSE and MSME degrees. In addition to the on-campus program, the MSME curriculum is offered in an online format that uses the latest internet and video technologies and is taught by expert UW faculty. Students can enroll on a full- or part-time basis to accommodate their work schedules. Additionally, distance learning students can enter the program any quarter. Part-Time option is available.
