Mechanical Engineering/Engineering Management (MS)

The Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering in conjunction with the Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering offers programs leading to the degree of Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering and Master of Science in Engineering Management. This combined program is designed for graduate mechanical engineers whose career objectives lead to increasing technical management responsibilities.

In addition to the general requirements of the Viterbi School of Engineering, the combined degree of Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering/Engineering Management is also subject to the following requirements:

1. All applicants must meet the admission requirements of both the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering and the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering;
2. A minimum of 46 units is required;
3. A minimum of 18 units must be graduate level course work in AME, approved by an AME graduate student adviser;
4. A minimum of 20 units must be graduate level course work in ISE, approved by the ISE Engineering Management graduate student adviser and chosen from the course list under Master of Science in Engineering Management;
5. A minimum additional 8 units of acceptable course work must be chosen with the consent of the ISE Engineering Management graduate student adviser to form a coherent program.
