Makine Mühendisliği Bölümü, Makine Mühendisliği'nin ileri teknik ve mesleki alanlarında, yüksek nitelikli lisansüstü eğitim sağlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Programın birincil amacı, mezunlarının Makine Mühendisliği'nin farklı alanlarında en yeni bilgileri edinmesidir. Bunun amacı, teknolojik olarak gelişmekte olan sanayinin görüş enginliğine sahip iyi eğitilmiş uzmanlara olan artan ihtiyacını karşılamaktır. Makine Mühendisliği Bölümü, lisansüstü öğrencilerini, hem öğrenciye hem de topluma faydası olacak eleştirel düşünme yetileri ile, sanayinin bugünkü ve gelecekteki gereksinimleriyle ilgili Makine Mühendisliği konularında eğitir. Lisansüstü programı hem teknoloji geliştirme alanlarına hem de pratik uygulamalara yaptığı vurgu ile dikkate değerdir. Lisansüstü dersleri, öğrencilerin tez projelerinde ve mesleki kariyerlerinde karşılaşabilecekleri birçok sorunun anlaşılması, ortaya konulması ve çözümü için harcanan çabanın azaltılmasını sağlayacak güçlü temeli vermek üzere düzenlenmiştir. Bölüm, yüksek lisans öğrencilerinden yüksek düzeyde bilimsel merak beklemekte ve sadece teknik açıdan rekabetçi mühendisler yetiştirmeye çalışmayıp, yurttaşlık sorumluluğuna sahip mühendisler yetiştirmektedir.
Master's (M.S.) Program
All students admitted to the M.S. program in mechanical engineering are required to designate their thesis supervisor and thesis topic at the start of their program.
Master's students are required to take minimum 7 courses (minimum 21 credits). The course program of each student is designed by the student and his/her thesis supervisor according to following rules:
- In order to satisfy the mathematics requirement, one course must be selected from the following courses: ME 521, ES 501, AEE 501, MATH 583, MATH 587, or PHYS 503.
- At least 4 courses must have ME 5XX codes, excluding ME 521, totaling a minimum of 12 credits.
- The program may contain at most 2 courses (subject to the approval of departmental committee on master's program) selected from the three groups of courses listed below:
- graduate courses offered by other departments,
- undergraduate technical elective courses offered by the Mechanical Engineering Department,
- undergraduate technical elective courses offered by other departments.
The maximum period to complete course work is 4 semesters.
In addition to the course load, the Master's students are expected to
- pass ME 590 Thesis Seminar course before the end of their fourth semester and
- complete, write, and defend a thesis sucessfully before the end of their sixth semester.
