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

The Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering offers thesis and non-thesis based MSc degrees in Mechanical Engineering. Both are academic degrees that require completion of a research project. The MSc degree in Mechanical Engineering typically requires 1.5-2 years to complete, with many students then choosing to proceed with their PhD studies. Most students in Mechanical Engineering, in collaboration with their research advisor, choose the thesis option, and the majority of students are supported on research assistantships, teaching assistantships, or fellowships.
