The Masters of Engineering (ME) degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering with a concentration in Construction Engineering Management (CEM) is available for students that have a BS in Civil Engineering or from another engineering discipline.

The degree requirements are

The CEM track is designed for flexibility giving students the opportunity to choose courses that meet their needs and schedule. The CEM Program advisor is the Director of CEM (Erik Backus). The CEM project advisor will be selected through mutual agreement between the Director of CEM, the student, and project advisor. At the completion of the project work, the student will prepare a formal report and submit it to the project advisor. When the report is approved by the advisor, the project credits will be formally granted. Project credits can be taken in the summer.... [-]

The Master of Engineering (ME) program in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering focuses on engineering practice and design. It can be completed within one calendar year and consists of up to 24 credits of graduate-approved coursework, (up to 18 in the major subject area and six in a minor area), and up to seven credits from a design project.

A design project is an integral part of the Master of Engineering program. It is intended to be an intensive team experience managed by the students and involving the examination and analysis of a real-world problem followed by the implementation of a design decision. Often, the problem will be drawn from the actual experiences of the design engineers who are available for interaction with the design team. The design team will be responsible for the preparation of written interim and final reports and, at the conclusion of the program, will make a formal non-graded presentation open to students, faculty and other interested parties....

The world of power electronics and energy conversion is changing rapidly, creating opportunities for electrical engineers with advanced skills and the ability to apply them to technologies and products that are driving growth. The objective of the electrical engineering programs is to expand your understanding of areas such as modern electric machinery, modeling, control of power electronics, superconductivity, synchronous generation, fuel cell engineering, photovoltaics and more. You’ll also learn how to put your knowledge to work so you can make an immediate and long-term impact in your field.

This program is designed for:

This program in Systems Engineering concentrates on the industrial and systems engineering courses that cover the science and technologies of decision making in a complex world in order to optimize the overall system rather than any one subsystem. Systems engineering is concerned with improving the decision-making process by utilizing statistics, simulation, optimization, and computer science skills to enhance the design, control, operation, and understanding of systems. This discipline has shown rapid growth in both its development and recognition as a distinct field of engineering. Systems Engineering skills are becoming increasingly important within the local, industrial community as an aid to management seeking to respond to increasing competitive pressures. The program has flexibility in order to allow students to focus their course of study on various application domains. These application domains have common needs in many areas of systems engineering, but some unique ones as well.... [-]

The master of engineering degree in microelectronics manufacturing engineering provides a broad-based education to students with a bachelor’s degree in traditional engineering or science disciplines who are interested in a career in the semiconductor industry.

Graduates of the program will: design and understand a sequence of processing steps to fabricate a solid state device to meet a set of target parameters; analyze experimental electrical data from a solid state device to extract performance parameters used in the device design; understand current lithographic materials, processes, and systems to meet imaging and device patterning requirements; understand the relevance of a process or device to current manufacturing practices; perform in a microelectronic manufacturing environment in an area of specialization, such as device engineering, circuit design, lithography, materials and processes, yield enhancement, and manufacturing....

Master of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering 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 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.

This master’s degree is particularly well-suited to students who wish to study part-time, those interested in updating their technical skills, and those not focused on a research-oriented master of science thesis.The program consists of core courses (12 credit hours), concentration courses (16 credit hours), and elective courses (20 credit hours)....

The master of engineering in industrial engineering focuses on the design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems of people, material, information, equipment, and energy. The program emphasizes specialized knowledge and skills in the mathematical, physical, computer, and social sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design. The overarching goal of industrial engineering is the optimization of the system, regardless of whether the activity engaged in is a manufacturing, distribution, or a service-related capacity. The student graduates with a variety of skills in the areas of applied statistics/quality, ergonomics/human factors, operations research/simulation, manufacturing, and systems engineering.This degree will allow a student to gain breadth across several different areas or focus on one area within IE....

The Master of Engineering in Engineering Management program uses a blend of ISE courses and courses from the College of Business to focus on the management of the engineering and technological enterprise. It combines technological expertise with managerial skills.

Engineering Management is concerned with understanding the technology involved in an engineering project and the management process through which the technology is applied. This concentration deals with the dual role of the engineering manager; both as a technologist and a manager. The object is to provide a background in areas commonly needed in this role, such as organizational behavior, finance, and accounting, in addition to industrial engineering expertise. Each student should develop a program of study in conjunction with their advisor, that contains up to four courses from the College of Business to complement the engineering coursework.... [-]
