Department Announces New M.S. Special Tracks
09/15/2008
Establishment of Two Concentrations for the M.S. Degree in Mechanical Engineering
The M.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering currently requires that a student take a sequence of courses that shows a “clearly discernible specialty or concentration.” In consultation with his/her advisor, an M.S. student can develop a concentration specifically tailored to his/her interests and objectives, which we refer to as the Standard Track.
We have found that a significant number of our M.S. students are interested in two of the many concentratations: Energy Systems as well as Micro/Nanoscale Engineering. Therefore, the department has recently established a separate track for a formal concentration in each of those two areas, and to refer to these as Special Tracks. Any incoming student can then choose to apply to the Standard Track, or to either a special track of Energy Systems or Micro/Nanoscale Engineering.
