RIT's department of mechanical engineering offers two masters programs. The master of engineering is intended for the engineering professional who does not plan to study beyond the masters level, wants to customize his or her concentration of study to match professional objectives, and can apply the concentration to an internship at his or her place of business.

The MS is a more traditional applied research program, which includes a comprehensive core offering and a master's thesis.

This is a post-baccalaureate internship program leading to the professional degree of master of engineering. The objective of the program is to provide the engineering BS graduate the means for earning a terminal master's degree. The capstone experience for the Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) degree may be a course design project, a well-organized and carefully chosen industrial internship, or an independent study project, in place of the conventional thesis requirement of an MS degree. The M.Eng. degree is particularly well-suited to part-time study, students interested in updating their technical skills, and those who are not focusedon a researchoriented Master of Science Thesis....

A ME or a MS degree is offered in the area of microelectronics manufacturing. The ME in microelectronics manufacturing engineering is a full-time, one-year intensive classroom- and laboratory-oriented program culminating with an internship. The MS in microelectronics manufacturing engineering is a full-time, two-year research-oriented program, which includes a master's thesis.

In addition, the department offers a combined BS degree in industrial engineering with an MS in applied statistics from the College of Engineering's John D. Hromi Center for Quality and Applied Statistics. Additionally, there is an accelerated BS/MBS program offered jointly with the E. Philip Saunders College of Business. These programs have different credit hour/degree requirements and are described in detail on the department website, www.rit.edu/ise. The student, in conjunction with an adviser, formulates a program of study based on the individual's academic background, professional goals and degree requirements....

The master of science program in applied experimental and engineering psychology emphasizes the role of human behavior in the use of technology. The departments of psychology, industrial and systems engineering, and information technology all contribute to the teaching of specialty courses in the program.

Engineering psychology examines the capacities and limitations of the human to sense, store, and process information, and the use of this information in performance. This knowledge is applied to the design, use, and maintenance of human/machine systems. Students will be trained in the application of experimental psychology to contemporary problems in industry, design, and technology....

The master of science degree in mechanical engineering is awarded upon successful completion of an approved graduate program consisting of a minimum of 45 quarter credit hours. A minimum of 36 credits are to be earned in course work and nine credits of thesis....

RIT's MS electrical engineering program is designed to build upon the bachelor of science in electrical engineering. Other BS engineering or computer science degrees, in addition to a bridge program, will prepare students for entry into the program.

The program consists of 45 credits which include the prerequisite, core, concentration, elective, and capstone groups.

Concentrations

Within electrical engineering, a student can specialize in one of six separate areas for the MS degree: control systems, communications, digital systems, integrated electronics, signal and image processing, and MEMS (microelectromechanical systems)....

The master of science manufacturing and mechanical systems integration program is a multidisciplinary degree offered by the department of manufacturing and mechanical engineering technology in collaboration with the colleges of Business, Engineering, and Computing and Information Sciences.

This program is designed for individuals who wish to achieve competence in the effective integration of the computing, manufacturing, design, quality, and management functions found in any manufacturing enterprise. Students take a set of common core courses and then elect a concentration in design, manufacturing, software, electronics packaging, management, or quality....

The MS materials science and engineering program is a joint program of RIT's College of Science and the Kate Gleason College of Engineering. The program offers a serious interdisciplinary learning experience in materials studies, crossing over the traditional boundaries of such classical disciplines as chemistry, physics, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering.

The overall thrust of the program is to establish a positive relationship between academia and industry by building a sound academic base in the field....

Sustainable engineering refers to the integration of social, environmental, and economic considerations into product, process and energy systems design methods. Additionally, sustainable engineering encourages the consideration of the complete product and process lifecycle during the design effort.

The intent is to minimize the total of the environmental impacts across the entire lifecycle while simultaneously maximizing the benefits to social and economic stakeholders.

The multidisciplinary program features a Master of Science and a Master of Engineering and, building on RIT’s work in sustainability research and education, offers students the flexibility to develop tracks in areas such as renewable energy systems, systems modeling and analysis, product design, and engineering policy and management. The programs are offered on-campus, and both full-time or part-time study options are available....
