MS
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING – 2005-07 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.
