The Master’s of Engineering Program at TAM
The M.Eng. two-semester professional degree program stresses applications of Engineering Mechanics and Applied Mathematics and Modeling.
The program is designed for engineering students and students from the physical and mathematical sciences.
The Master’s Program Center Piece
The center piece of the program is a project based on important real-world problems. Students may complete this project individually or as part of a team. The student learns to handle a wide variety of multi-disciplinary problems by working on this project.
Students consult with their advisors prior to choosing a project.
Program Requirements
The degree program requires satisfactory completion of 30 credits of coursework. Students may choose between two general areas of study:
Engineering Mechanics:
Students in this program deepen and broaden their knowledge of mechanics as applied to different material systems. The course work centers on additional study of solid mechanics, fracture mechanics, materials and computational methods (such as the finite element method), widely used in industries.
Potential employers are companies interested in computer modeling of mechanical systems, and failure and reliability analysis.
Applied Mathematics and Modeling:
Students in this program take courses in mathematical modeling and computational methods. They have great flexibility in their choice of studies. Graduates of this program are in a good position to pursue higher degrees or to work for financial or information-based organizations.
Financial Aid
Partial financial support is available for M. Eng. students. Typical M. Eng. financial support ranges from $3,000-$6,000 per year.
Support could include a partial tuition scholarship, or a stipend in exchange for serving as a teaching assistant.
