Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering

Duration	1.5-2 Years
Level	Masters Program

The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers both a thesis option and a non-thesis option leading to an M.S. degree. Both options require a minimum of 30 credit hours of graduate work
The thesis option must include a thesis for at least six hours of credit
The non-thesis option must include at least three credit hours of an independent investigation
Areas of study in Mechanical Engineering in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Kansas include:
- Biomechanics and Biomaterials: biomechanics of human motion, biomaterials, orthopedic biomechanics, and biomedical product design, transport phenomena, and drug delivery
- Computational Mechanics and Mathematics of Computations: computational mechanics, finite element analysis, finite element methods, and software
- Thermal-Fluid Systems and Heat Transfer: energy and thermal-power system design, heat transfer and computational fluid dynamics
- Mechanical Design, Manufacturing, and Microprocessor Applications: computer-aided mechanical design, continuum mechanics, computer-integrated manufacturing, computational mechanics, finite element analysis, machine stress analysis, microcomputer applications, and automatic control systems

Class 12th	No specific cutoff mentioned
Bachelors	3.0 GPA A student generally must have earned a baccalaureate degree from an accredited mechanical engineering program. However, a student with good preparation in some other engineering discipline or a related program, such as physics, may qualify by taking appropriate undergraduate courses specified by the Mechanical Engineering Department Graduate Admissions Committee For admission to regular status in the Master's program, the student must have an undergraduate grade point average (GPA) of at least B (3.0/4.0) For Master's applicants whose undergraduate GPA is below 3.0/4.0, but no lower than 2.75/4.0, admission on provisional status will be considered on a case-by-case basis
