MECHANICAL ENGINEERING The Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering allows a student to development a course of study tailored to his or her interests and objectives. Students may construct their own sequence of courses (referred to as the Standard Track), or choose courses from predefined concentrations, such as the Energy Systems, Biomechanics, Micro/Nanoscale Engineering, or 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 (international students must enroll full-time except in the third semester). M.S Degree in Mechanical Engineering The program leading to the Master of Science degree in mechanical engineering requires completion of a minimum of 30 points of approved coursework consisting of no fewer than ten courses. Research (MS projects or MS thesis) is not required for the MS requirements but is valuable, and could be taken for up to 6 credits over two semesters. A thesis based on either experimental, computational, or analytical research is also optional and may be taken for up to 6 credits. In general, attainment of the degree requires one academic year of full-time study, although it may also be undertaken on a part-time basis over a correspondingly longer period. The Master of Science concentrations are: • Energy Systems Engineering Mechanics • Biomechanics • Micro/Nanoscale Engineering • Mechanical Engineering with Specialization in Robotics and Control M.S. in Mechanical Engineering with concentration in Energy Systems The concentration in energy systems provides the M.S. candidate with a global understanding of current energy challenges. Advanced thermofluidic knowledge is provided to design and optimize energy systems, with a strong emphasis on renewable energies. Courses related to energy and environmental policy, two strong areas of Columbia as a global university, can be integrated into the course sequence. This specialization is a suitable preparation for careers in energy production and energy consultation.
