This technical program draws on your existing knowledge of engineering theory and mathematics, as well as practical engineering experience.
The online Master of Science in Engineering program combines management and technical focuses in courses such as Engineering Management, Engineering Communications, and Simulation Modeling of Engineering Systems.
Choose how your career needs will best be suited by selecting an area of emphasis.
- Applications of Engineering Management: Evolve from a technical engineer into a manager of engineers. Strengthen the soft skills needed to motivate, develop, and direct employees as well as successfully manage projects and resources.
- Control (Electrical) Systems: Gain the ability to analyze and design classical, modern, and digital control systems in various areas of industry.
- Engineering Design: Deepen your understanding of engineering fundamentals and acquire the skills to increase and design optimal solutions in a variety of engineering and industrial settings.
- Structural/Geotechnical Engineering: Explore the AASHTO LRFD design methods in the traditional geotechnical engineering design areas of shallow foundations, deep foundations, earth retaining structures, along with geosynthetics. Learn about LRFD design of steel structures and dynamics of structures, and LRFD design codes and methodologies.
Earn your degree in as little as two years. Total cost of the program is $21,450*. Be sure to ask your Admission Specialist how you can reduce this cost with transfer credits or professional credentials.
"What I love most about the program is that it is not tied to a specific field; rather it provides me the opportunity to select courses based on my career needs, interests, and goals."
