Master of Science [M.S] [Mechanical Engineering] From University of Nevada

A number of our research laboratories are outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment and computing facilities. The current research projects are sponsored by the National Science Foundation, the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, the National Aeronautics and Space Agency, and private industries. Most of our graduate students receive research or teaching assistantships to support their graduate studies.

We offer two degree options for master's students:

• Plan A: Includes 30 credits of graduate-level coursework and a research thesis
• Plan B: Requires 32 credits of graduate-level coursework and a comprehensive examination

All master's degree candidates are initially accepted into Plan B, but may be invited to complete Plan A in cooperation with a faculty research advisor. Admitted students are assigned a faculty advisor who will help you outline an individual program of study tailed to fit your background and interests.
