UCONN MASTER OF
ENGINEERING DEGREE
The MENG degree, offered by the University of
Connecticut School of Engineering, is a composite
generalist degree merging technical engineering and
professional development classes.
Designed for practicing engineers at participating
companies, the MENG program allows the line engineer
to earn a masters degree without work-day interruptions.
UConn Engineering faculty teach courses on-site at a
participating companys facility or remotely, affording
you the utmost in educational quality at the greatest
convenience.

MASTER OF ENGINEERING IN
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT

The mechanical engineering field encompasses analysis,

design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical
systems. Today, it spans a broad spectrum of advanced
subjects including design and operation of novel energy
conversion devices; sensors, sensor networks and process
control; advanced materials development for and mechanics
of nanoscale and biological systems, and computer aided
design of highly engineered systems to name a few.
The Mechanical Engineering faculty includes 26 tenured
and tenure-track faculty members, 7 professors-in-residence
and several others with research and joint appointments.
Many of our faculty members have been recipients of
National Science Foundation CAREER, Office of Naval
Research Young Investigator, and Army Research Office
Young Investigator awards.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers
Master of Engineering degree program in two areas of
concentration; Systems & Mechanics and Thermal & Fluid
Sciences. The Master of Engineering students must complete:
MENG CORE COURSES (12 CREDITS)

ENGR 5311 - Professional Communication and

Information Management
ENGR 5312 - Engineering Project Planning
and Management
ME 5507 - Engineering Analysis
Capstone Project - Students are encouraged to work
on a company sponsored project which would also
benefit the participating sponsors

SYSTEMS & MECHANICS

CORE COURSES (12 CREDITS, 4 OUT OF 7)

ME 5105 Basic Concepts of Continuum Mechanics

ME 5150 Analytical & Applied Kinematics
ME 5155 Geometric Modeling
ME 5160 Theory and Design of Automatic
Control Systems
ME 5180 Dynamics
ME 5190 Advanced Mechanics of Materials
ME 5420 Mechanical Vibrations

THERMAL & FLUID SCIENCES

CORE COURSES (12 CREDITS, 4 OUT OF 6)

ME 5110 Advanced Thermodynamics

ME 5120 Advanced Thermo-Fluids I
ME 5130 Advanced Heat and Mass Transfer
ME 5140 Heat and Mass Transfer in
Multiphase Systems
ME 5311 Computational Methods of Viscous
Fluid Dynamics
ME 6170 Combustion and Air Pollution Engineering

The above-listed core courses are offered periodically

(once every three to four semesters). In principle, each
student is required to take four core courses from the
area of concentration in which the student is enrolled.
To complement the core courses and to broaden
students knowledge and skill set, the Mechanical
Engineering MENG program offers a wide variety of
elective courses. Examples of frequently offered
elective courses include but are not limited to:

ME 5210 Intelligent Material Systems

and Structures
ME 5320 Flow of Compressible Fluids
ME 5511 Principles of Optimum Design
ME 5895 Mechatronics
ME 5895 Fuel Cells
ME 6160 Turbines and Centrifugal Machinery

In addition, certain courses in Material Science and

Civil Engineering can count toward the coursework
requirement. To facilitate further flexibility in coursework structure, it is possible for students to use certain
elective courses to substitute for closely related core
courses. Substituting core courses with elective
courses and taking courses outside the Mechanical
Engineering must be approved by major advisor.
ADVISORY STRUCTURE

Upon admission, a student in the Mechanical

Engineering MENG program is assigned with a major
advisor and two associate advisors that form the
advisory committee. A student is required to prepare
a preliminary plan of study in the first semester based
on communication with the major advisor. Students are
suggested to continually consult with the major advisor
on coursework progress and to update the
plan of study.
