Students with MS degrees in engineering or science disciplines can be accepted in these programs. Students must satisfy all other departmental degree requirements. Admission requirements follow the general admission rules for Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering graduate programs. For admission requirements, refer to Viterbi Graduate Degrees and Requirements at USC Viterbi School of Engineering. The program requires completion of a minimum of 27 units, with at least 18 units at the 500 level, and a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 for graduation. Students will be given advisement in the first semester of their study. A minimum of 15 units must be 500-level courses in major department. Four of the required units must be in one of the three engineering analysis offerings (AME 525 , AME 526 , or AME 540 ).
In addition to engineering analysis, students are required to take five core courses covering energy and propulsion, sustainable energy, alternative energy conversion devices, combustion, heat and mass diffusion, and fluid dynamics. Elective courses can be chosen in areas of specific interest to the student.
Information on the current approved courses that comprise these core and elective requirements is available from the department website ame.usc.edu.
