The Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (MSME) focuses on the advanced study of mechanical systems, enabling graduates to tackle critical challenges in energy, transportation, automation and bio-mechanical systems. This graduate program emphasizes hands-on learning, applied research and collaboration with experienced faculty who have industry backgrounds.
The Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering, housed in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Daytona Beach Campus, gives students the choice of a broad concentration (General Mechanical Engineering) or one of three specific areas of concentration: High-Performance Vehicles, Robotics and Autonomous Systems, or Thermal-Fluid Sciences. Students choose a thesis or non-thesis track while taking core courses that balance theory and the practical application of electromechanical systems. Research activities are supervised by experienced faculty in state-of-the-art labs, providing ample opportunities for professional growth.
