MS in Mechanical Engineering

The University of Texas at Tyler (UT Tyler) Department of Mechanical Engineering offers the master of science in mechanical engineering (MSME) degree, providing advanced levels of mechanical engineering education and research. The program is broad-based, allowing students to develop expertise in a number of areas ranging from design, manufacturing, thermal, and fluid sciences to solid mechanics and mechanical control and instrumentation.

The MSME degree program is flexible to accommodate students with bachelor's degrees in other closely related engineering majors. The program is structured and scheduled to serve both full-time and part-time graduate students and serve the continuing education needs of practicing engineers. Most mechanical engineering graduate courses are designed to integrate independent research and engineering practice into the course contents. Students with bachelor's degrees in physics or mathematics will need at least two full years of leveling courses before taking graduate courses in the MSME program. Private sectors and government agencies can employ the UT Tyler program to serve as group leaders, principal engineers, managers and R&D technical staff. Students can also plan course selection in preparation for doctoral degree programs in mechanical or other engineering disciplines.

The University of Texas at Tyler is part of the prestigious University of Texas System that includes 14 institutions located throughout the state. Founded in 1971, UT Tyler today enrolls nearly 10,000 students and consists of six colleges.

Our beautiful Tyler campus features more than 200 acres nestled along a lake and surrounded by thick pine and oak forests, providing a picturesque location for study and recreation. For student convenience, we also maintain regional campuses in Palestine and Longview and a location in Houston.
