MS
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING – 2003-05 Catalog
Mechanical Engineering Department
Engineering Bldg. (13), Room 254
(805) 756-1334
General Characteristics
The
Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering prepares students to design and
develop advanced products and systems; to conduct research and analysis; to
work in industry; or to continue study toward a Ph.D. Graduate students enjoy
the same flavor of learn-by-doing as other Cal Poly students. Students may choose their technical
electives in the area that interests them, including thermo-sciences, controls
and robotics, mechanics and stress analysis, composite materials.
Prerequisites
For admission as a classified
graduate student, in addition to the University requirements, an applicant
should hold a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering with a grade point average of
3.0. Other closely related majors may be accepted as conditionally classified
graduate students until they take necessary prerequisite mechanical engineering
courses as approved by the graduate advisor.
For additional information on University requirements, please refer to
the Graduate Programs of this catalog.
