Overview

Admission to the Master's program in Mechanical Engineering at Clemson University typically requires that applicants have a minimum B+ average on their last 60 hours of undergraduate courses, a Graduate Record Exam (GRE) of at least 1100 and two letters of recommendation. The requirements for admission to the Ph.D. program are higher than those for a Master's degree.

Learning outcomes

Research in the Department of Mechanical Engineering includes the three major subject areas: engineering mechanics, mechanical and manufacturing systems and thermal/fluid sciences. Research emphasis areas within the department include automotive engineering, energy, advanced materials engineering, biotechnology and nanotechnology. Research labs and offices of the faculty, staff and graduate students of the department are housed within the Fluor Daniel Engineering Innovation Building.

Programme Structure

Courses Include:

Enrollment in the MS program is open to you if you have a degree in physics, applied mathematics or any branch of engineering. You may choose the thesis or non-thesis option.

The mechanical engineering faculty believes that three semesters and a summer are usually sufficient for full-time graduate students to complete the necessary work to obtain the Master of Science degree.

Students who are in a research program (MS thesis or Ph.D. dissertation) are required to register for research hours each semester. Students in the MS thesis program take a minimum of eight courses (24 credit hours) and six research hours.

Students in the non-thesis program must complete eleven courses (33 credit hours) work.
