Master of Engineering (MEng) in Mechanical Engineering

Duke’s Master of Engineering (MEng) in Mechanical Engineering is an alternative to a traditional master of science program that will deepen your understanding of technology and help you develop the business leadership and management expertise you need to succeed in your career. In the Master of Engineering program, you take specialized technical classes and a core of business leadership and management courses, with a required internship or a project completing the degree. Duke's Mechanical Engineers are refining the design of helicopter rotor blades, developing models to help robot mine-sweepers navigate strange surroundings to find hidden explosives, and building a device that uses droplets of water to carry payloads such as proteins and drug capsules. This kind of real-world research is reflected in the courses we offer to our Master of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering students. In addition, many of our faculty consult with industry and bring that experience back to our students through classes and projects. The MEng program will help you become an expert at solving technical problems and prepare you to smoothly navigate corporate culture. MEng students will complete the Core Industry Preparatory Courses and Internship, Departmental Requirements, and will choose specialization requirements of four courses from the following areas of concentration: Mechanics, Dynamics and Controls Solid Mechanics Dynamics Controls Aerodynamics Thermal Fluids Thermodynamics Fluid Mechanics and Transport Phenomena Materials Science Robotics Aerospace Structure and Dynamics Aerodynamics Math and Computational Methods
