Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MEng)

专业详情

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

The Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) program is particularly suited to those interested in obtaining a more fundamental understanding of their field or broadening their experiences to include disciplines outside of their particular technical focus areas. The M.Eng. degree is a coursework-based degree with no research or thesis requirement. Candidates for the M.Eng. degree will normally satisfy degree requirements within one (10-month) academic year. Candidates for this program generally provide their own financial support.

The MAE MEng program for the 2022-2023 academic year is open only to current Princeton seniors. We discourage applications from others, who will not be admitted.
 
For MAE concentrators, undergraduate academic performance must indicate potential for success in the MEng program, normally indicated by a 3.0 or higher undergraduate GPA.
 
For non-MAE concentrators, a formal, demonstrated interest in MAE as an undergraduate and undergraduate coursework satisfying MAE graduate course prerequisites are additionally required. 
 
The application deadline is December 1.
 

COURSES:

Candidates for the M.Eng. degree must successfully complete eight (8) graduate courses. Six of these courses must be technical, with no more than two being independent projects. A minimum of four of the technical courses must be taken in the Department. For candidates who earned an undergraduate degree at the University, none of the eight courses may be courses that were also taken as part of that undergraduate degree program. To qualify for the M.Eng. degree, the eight courses must be passed with at least a 3.0 or “B” average, and no more than one “C” grade will be permitted to count towards the eight courses.

The M.Eng. degree program is intended to be individualized and as unconstrained as possible, and a coherent program of study is developed in consultation with a faculty advisor. Opportunities for study exist within the various research areas of the Department, including Applied Physics; Biomechanics and Biomaterials; Controls, Robotics, and Dynamical Systems; Fluid Mechanics; Materials Science; and Propulsion and Energy Sciences.
