M.S. in Mechanical Engineering - Research

M.S. in Mechanical Engineering–Research (192 units)

Students admitted to this program will perform extensive research with a faculty member for the duration of the program. They are typically matched with a faculty member prior to starting class.

Their experience culminates with a final research report and presentation to faculty and students at the Department of Mechanical Engineering's annual Graduate Research Symposium each spring. 

Students with a bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline or equivalent are encouraged to apply to this program. 

Admission to the M.S. in Mechanical Engineering–Research program does not guarantee admission into our Ph.D. program. Ph.D. students are accepted through our direct Ph.D. program.

Each of our master’s programs provides:

• hands-on learning and collaborative problem-solving through project-based courses
• flexibility to tailor your curriculum according to your interests and goals
• ongoing services and programming to enhance communication, leadership, and team-building skills in the Carnegie Mellon and Pittsburgh ecosystems 
• personalized career advising services and networking opportunities to ensure your long term professional success.
