Master
of Engineering
Program of Study
All students
enrolled in the program receive the M.E. degree from the College
of Engineering. Students take a series of manufacturing core courses,
a set of discipline-oriented engineering courses, business core electives,
and a mathematics/quantitative methods course. A six-month period of career-related employment
through Drexel’s Graduate Co-op program is a requirement
for full-time students. Students who are already employed as practicing
engineers may apply to pursue the program on a part-time basis. A thesis
is not required. The average time required to complete the master’s degree
is two years of full-time study or three years of part-time study.
The degree requires a total of 48 credits, including at least 18 credits from an engineering discipline core. This core may be from any engineering department: Civil and Architectural, Chemical, Electrical and Computer, Materials, or Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics. (Please refer to the appropriate departmental description in this catalog for more information about each department.) Students also complete 15 credits from the manufacturing core, which includes 6 credits in manufacturing and 9 credits of departmental manufacturing electives. Three credits of either engineering analysis or probability and statistics, 6 credits from either engineering management or the Bennett S. LeBow College of Business, and 6 credits of GCP round out the program.
