Program Background
Part-Time Master of Science in Engineering
Program (PT MSE) was created in 1999 within the
scope of the existing MSE degree
The Project option of MSE degree is used as the
template for the PT MSE
The program started with 14 students
It was administered by the office of the associate
dean for graduate studies
1
Program Purpose
Response to the needs of corporations for a
practical MS degree that is specifically designed
for technical professionals
Cross-disciplinary program that combines study in
business management and engineering
Builds management skills while sharpening students’
technical capabilities
Alternative to traditional MBA or researchoriented technical MS degree
2
Current Status
Still based on the College’s MSE program
It’s curricular support is provided by all
departments of the College of Engineering
Engineering Technology Department
administers the program for the College
As is the case for all graduate programs,
oversight by the associate dean for graduate
studies

Admission Requirements
Applicants must have a bachelor’s degree in engineering,
engineering technology, or in one of the mathematical,
physical, or biological sciences
Students entering the program will be required to have at
least:
Calculus, through Ordinary Differential Equations (3 semesters)
Physics (2 semesters)
Chemistry and/or Engineering Materials (1 semester)
