Beschreibung des Programms

The mechanical engineering graduate program at Florida Tech provides a course of study that advances engineers in their professional careers or prepares them for further study in a doctoral program.

Offered with both a thesis and a non-thesis option, a master’s in mechanical engineering gives graduates advanced knowledge in the analysis, design, and fabrication of machines, engines, products, and technologies. This multidisciplinary approach mimics the expertise and problem-solving capabilities that graduates are expected to have once in the workplace.

The mechanical engineering master’s program can be earned on either a full-time or part-time basis. Students in the master’s in mechanical engineering program must choose one of the following areas of specialization:

  • Automotive Engineering
  • Dynamic Systems—Robotics and Controls
  • Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology
  • Structures: Solid Mechanics and Materials
  • Thermal Fluid Sciences

Why Pursue a Master's in Mechanical Engineering at Florida Tech?

The university’s reputation is built on a solid record of graduate education and faculty and student research. Graduate students at Florida Tech benefit from a wide range of advanced courses to learn the latest body of knowledge in the field. Excellent research facilities and infrastructure where students conduct state-of-the-art research include the National Center for Hydrogen Research, the Florida Center for Automotive Research, and the Institute for Energy Systems.

Dedicated, Experienced Faculty

Florida Tech’s highly distinguished faculty holds a wide range of research interests in instrumentation and control, mechatronics, robotics, biomechanics, computer-aided design, alternative energy, and more. A low student-to-faculty ratio allows professors a chance to mentor students in the mechanical engineering master’s program. NASA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, the National Science Foundation, the State of Florida and the Department of Energy have recently funded faculty research projects.

Faculty members are professional engineers who also conduct research in which graduate students can participate and contribute including such projects as:

  • Design of robotic mechanical systems
  • Theoretical kinematics
  • Laser material processing
  • Bio-heat transfer
  • Automobile aerodynamics
  • Thermodynamic power cycles

The faculty members offer a rich and varied background including professional consulting and military experience.

Great Florida Location

While many graduate students are already working professionals in the local area, other master’s candidates choose the mechanical engineering master’s program at Florida Tech for its prime location in the heart of Florida’s Space Coast near one of the nation’s largest high-tech workforces.

Informationen über das Institut

It All Started With 37 Cents

Florida Tech was founded in 1958 as "Brevard Engineering College." It all started as an idea in the mind of Jerome P. Keuper, a visionary physicist working at Cape Canaveral.

As university lore would have it, Keuper expressed his desire to create a scientific and technological university to a friend over drinks at a local pub. Overhearing the conversation, a fellow patron pushed 37 cents in change across the bar and said, “There’s your first donation, Jerry. Now, go and build that college.”

So, Keuper did. And what started with 37 cents as a night school for the early “missilemen” of the U.S. space program is now a comprehensive national research university recognized worldwide for excellence in preparing students for careers of the future.

Core Values

  • Research for the Benefit of All Humankind
  • Education for a Lifetime of Success
  • Global Citizenship for a Better World

Mission Statement

Florida Institute of Technology’s mission is to provide high-quality education to a culturally diverse student body in order to prepare students for entering the global workforce, seeking higher-education opportunities, and serving within their communities. The university also seeks to expand knowledge through basic and applied research and to serve the diverse economic, cultural, and societal needs of our local, state, national and international constituencies.

In support of this mission, we are committed to:

  • Promoting student development by fostering and sustaining a productive institutional culture of assessment that leads to the continuous improvement of academic and administrative programs
  • Developing an organizational culture that values and encourages intellectual curiosity, a sense of belonging and shared purpose among faculty, students, and staff, and the pursuit of excellence in all endeavors
  • Recruiting and developing excellent faculty to become leaders in their respective fields and internationally recognized scholars
  • Achieving recognition as an effective, innovative, technology-focused educational and research institution
  • Recruiting and retaining an excellent, highly select, and culturally diverse student body
  • Continually improving the quality of campus life for all members of the university community
  • Providing personal and career growth opportunities for both traditional and nontraditional students and members of the faculty and staff
  • Securing and maintaining professional accreditation for all appropriate programs

We Are Florida Tech

What we are is a private, coeducational, residential, research-intensive, doctoral-granting university located in Melbourne on Florida’s sunny “Space Coast.” But who we are is so much more. We are a community of researchers, scholars, and learners hailing from all around the world. We are engineers, aviators, innovators, leaders, educators, athletes, and astronauts. We have the brains of rocket scientists and the hearts of Panthers. We are Florida Tech.

We Are Relentless

Florida Tech is a university of leaders and learners—a diverse community of students, staff, faculty, and alumni who are united in the relentless pursuit of greatness.

We Are International

Students from more than 90 countries worldwide choose to live and learn at Florida Tech, making us a truly global university. When we say #YouAreWelcomeHere, we mean it.

We Create The Future

One of the primary tenets of Florida Tech’s mission is advancing science and technology for the benefit of Earth and all of its inhabitants. So, that’s what we do.

We Have Panther Pride

You may feel it the first time you visit the campus, the day you graduate, or at some point in between. But when you do, you’ll see that Panther Pride is more than school spirit. It’s a family.

We Make Connections

Florida Tech is proud to be part of the Brevard County community and welcomes its neighbors to explore the many personal, professional, corporate, and cultural opportunities we have to offer.

We Are STEM

There's a reason Florida Tech is known as Florida's STEM University™. To put it simply: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math are in our DNA. This makes STEM a driving force behind who we are, what we do, and why we exist.
