16 monthsStudents can create a flexible program of study that is tailored to his or her interests and objectives, working closely with their faculty advisor to identify courses and research experiences that permits a seamless transition into the field of mechanical engineering.
Students may construct their own sequence of courses (referred to as the Standard Track), or choose courses from several suggested specialized elective concentrations, which currently include Biomechanics, Energy Systems, Micro/Nanoscale Engineering, and Robotics and Control.
In general, attainment of the degree requires two to three semesters of full-time study, although it may also be undertaken on a part-time basis over a correspondingly longer period.The recommended course plan for full-time* students is a three-semester plan, containing four courses in semester one, four courses in semester two, and two courses in semester three (referred to as the 4+4+2 plan).
