Master Degree
1.Objectives
Master:The Master’s program offered by the School of Mechanical Engineering (ME) aims to help the students to gain knowledge and skills in a selected mechanical engineering field that matches their interest, and to build solid foundation for a successful career as professional mechanical engineer or pursuing higher academic degree program. In this program, the students will develop their analyzing, designing and experimental abilities through courses, labs, project studies, and independent researches.
2.Length of Study
Master:The full-time scheme of the program lasts for two years, consisting of one-year course study and one-year project research completed with the submission of thesis. The duration can be extended to three years after approval of application.
3.Credits
Master program and doctoral program share same curriculum. However, they have their own requirement respectively.
The Master’s program must be well balanced, emphasizing on one or more theoretical or experimental aspects of mechanical engineering. At least51credits are required to get the Master degree. The detailed credit requirements for each modules and thesis work are shown in the following table.
