class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Inspire Powerful Economic Impact<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the most diversified engineering discipline, mechanical engineering drives innovation across manufacturing, aerospace, power generation, automotive, energy, HVAC, and biomedical industries, helping enact meaningful economic change. That\u2019s why our master\u2019s in mechanical engineering prioritizes students\u2019 real-world experience and highlights industry needs within local communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not only does our program empower graduates to launch new start-up companies and promote economic development, but we also provide public and community service to the City of Flint, Genesee County, and the State of Michigan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Research Opportunities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UM-Flint\u2019s mechanical engineering program creates a collaborative learning environment where students can engage with their classmates, faculty, the Flint community, and industry partners. Our leading-edge explorations equip MSE graduates with in-demand skills and training essential to advancing their careers in industry, government, and academia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Connect with Expert Faculty<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During their studies, students work closely with UM-Flint\u2019s renowned faculty, who are regularly published and actively involved in ongoing research, proposal writing, and other scholarly activities. With their professional knowledge and experience, our faculty are devoted mentors who guide and support students both in and out of the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Learn in a Supportive Community<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our mechanical engineering master\u2019s program utilizes a cohort model to foster a community-based learning environment. As they progress through the program, students collaborate with classmates who share their passion for problem-solving, innovation, and project management. This cohort structure increases engagement and helps students build a strong support network for personal and professional development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"UM-Flint | Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sZHyXwff19o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 id=\"curriculum\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\">Master\u2019s in Mechanical Engineering Curriculum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mechanical engineering graduate program curriculum aims to build practical and technical skills that position students as competitive candidates in the engineering industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Students take four core classes in mechanics of materials, thermodynamics, dynamics and control, and fluid mechanics. These advanced courses lay the foundation for the remainder of the program, comprising either four graduate-level EGR courses or three graduate-level EGR courses and one AUE course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, graduate students may choose to pursue the thesis or non-thesis option. Students who choose the thesis option must secure a thesis advisor, take two thesis courses, and complete their thesis and an oral defense. Those who decide upon the non-thesis option must enroll in two EGR or AUE graduate-level courses and pass the master \u2019s-level exit examination.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button wp-block-flintblock-program-link\">\n\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/graduateprograms\/mechanical-engineering-mse\/\"\n\t\t\ttarget=\"_blank\"\n\t\t\trel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\n\t\t\tclass=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button plausible-event-name=Program+Clicked plausible-event-program=Mechanical+Engineering+(MSE) plausible-event-source=program-link\"\n\t\t>Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering Curriculum<span class=\"fb:sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70)\">\n<h2 id=\"careers\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\">Mechanical Engineering Career Outlook<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The demand for engineers and their valuable skill sets is on the rise as more and more companies seek out these qualified professionals to help build a better, more sustainable world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects the employment of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/ooh\/architecture-and-engineering\/mechanical-engineers.htm#:~:text=Mechanical%20engineers%20design%20power%2Dproducing,such%20as%20elevators%20and%20escalators.\">mechanical engineers<\/a>&nbsp;to increase by 10 percent over the next decade, which translates into over 19,000 mechanical engineer job openings each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although a graduate degree is not always required, earning a master\u2019s in mechanical engineering can positively impact earning potential.

Demonstration of this proficiency is not required for admission into the MSE program. Two Fast Track options are provided for students to acquire this proficiency in a time-efficient manner, as advanced coursework in the MSE curriculum may require it. Fast Track courses can be taken concurrently with graduate courses. Students are encouraged to satisfy Fast Track requirements in their first year of the MSE program to ensure success in subsequent advanced coursework.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/cit\/noncredit-certificate\/\"><strong>Noncredit Certificates<\/strong><\/a>: CIT offers non-credit certificates in these areas of preparation.
