University of Georgia - College of Engineering

The MS in Agricultural Engineering is oriented toward executing engineering solutions for feed, fiber, and food production problems and/or postharvest processing problems. Problems addressed by this degree are generally at or beyond the field scale; however, solution approaches frequently begin at the bench-scale level.

The MS in Agricultural Engineering degree provides an opportunity for learning advanced data analyses skills and original research presentation skills. Problem definition skills are also stressed. The MS in Agricultural Engineering will preserve and continue the enduring legacy of Agricultural Engineering research at the University of Georgia.... [-]

The MS in Biological Engineering is oriented toward executing engineering solutions for feed, food and fiber production and/or post-harvest processing problems having an intensive biological/microbiological dimension. The School of Chemical, Materials, and Biomedical (CMB) Engineering offers several graduate programs for students to gain expertise at the frontiers of science and engineering knowledge. The faculty conduct research supported by the USDA, DOE, NIH, NSF, EPA and by industry partners, and have collaborative efforts with numerous centers of excellence at the University of Georgia, including the New Materials Institute, the Regenerative Bioscience Center and the Biomedical & Health Sciences Institute. These collaborations provide students with opportunities to engage with scientists across many science disciplines to tailor their education.... [-]

The MS in Civil and Environmental Engineering enables students to emphasize either Civil or Environmental engineering or span the study of both through their coursework, Masters Thesis, or Masters Problem.

The M.S. degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering with an Emphasis in Civil Engineering provides specialized expertise in civil engineering by providing a rigorous curriculum and innovative research in two distinctive areas: Structural and Geotechnical Engineering and Environment and Water. Specifically, the program offers students the opportunity to conduct state-of-the-art research in asphalt and concrete pavements, pavement evaluation and preservation, bridge engineering, non-destructive testing and evaluation, structural and materials modeling, transportation geotechnics and geomechanics, hydrology and hydraulics, urban water, environmental processes, sustainable coastal and river engineering, environmental fluid mechanics, water resources planning and management, and interdependence of infrastructure systems....

Students may customize and focus their degree through a selection of the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Emphasis Area. The ECE Area of Emphasis is intended for students wishing to pursue a graduate degree in areas related to electrical and computer engineering. The ECE school has expertise in three broad areas: Control Systems, Electronics and Photonics, and Cyber-Physical Systems. Students will take courses and perform research in these areas providing them with the necessary skills to pursue both industrial and academic careers in cutting edge fields of engineering. The area of emphasis is indicated on the student’s transcript.

The M.S. in Engineering with Electrical and Computer Engineering Emphasis requires a minimum of 33 semester hours in the Program of Study, which consists of:... [-]

The M.S. in Engineering with an Emphasis in Mechanical Engineering degree provides specialized expertise in mechanical engineering by providing a rigorous curriculum and innovative research in three distinctive areas: Design, Optimization and Manufacturing; Energy, Fluid and Thermal Systems; and Mechanics and Materials. Specifically, the program offers students the opportunity to conduct state-of-the-art research in a number of areas with pressing societal problems.

The Design, Optimization and Manufacturing area provides a basis of study in product design and the process for building those products. The Energy, Fluid and Thermal Systems area provides a basis for the study of diverse topics such as energy or fluid power systems. Finally, the Mechanics and Materials area provides the student with insight into methods for analyzing new materials and systems and how new products and technologies use these materials.... [-]
