M.S. in Mechanical Engineering (Course work only)

University of Toledo

Students seeking a graduate degree in Mechanical Engineering will find a vibrant academic and research environment in The University of Toledo’s Department of Mechanical, Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering.

UToledo offers a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, as well as three master’s degree options:

• Research-based thesis option
• Project option
• Course work only

Our graduate courses are taught by a research-active and student-centered faculty. Mechanical Engineering graduate students may specialize in one of three focus areas or combine aspects of all three into a focus on advanced manufacturing processes:

• Thermal science
• Solid mechanics
• Manufacturing and industrial engineering

The field of mechanical engineering is very diverse, offering opportunities in research, design, product development and manufacturing. Major areas of mechanical engineering include aerodynamics, fluid dynamics, solid mechanics, bioengineering, material sciences, nanotechnology, dynamics, automotive engineering, production and process, machine design, vibrations and control systems, and reliability-based design and optimization. The department features state-of-the-art studies using modern equipment and techniques.
