Graduate & Professional Studies
The department awards teaching assistantships
and research assistantships to full-time MS and PhD students on a competitive
basis. Typically a teaching assistant (TA) is responsible for two courses per
semester and receives a stipend in addition to a full-tuition scholarship. TA’s
are appointed during the admissions process; there is no separate application.
Research Assistants (RA’s) are chosen by individual faculty members to work on
specific research grants for a stipend and a tuition scholarship. In addition to
teaching and research assistantships, the department may also award partial
tuition scholarships to outstanding students. Tuition scholarships cannot be
applied to charges associated with undergraduate-level courses that might be
required for students who require additional background in mechanical
engineering.
Candidates are admitted to the M. Eng. program
on the same basis as that of the M.S. program, that is, a strong academic
background in mechanical engineering or a related technical discipline.
Candidates admitted to the M.Eng. program may transfer to the M.S. program at
any time. However, transfer from the M.S. program to the M.Eng. program is not
permitted. The tuition for the program is the same as that for the M.S. program
- one full-year's tuition plus continuation fees, if applicable. The Department
does not grant financial aid (tuition scholarships or teaching assistantships)
to students in the M.Eng. program.
There are various other employment
opportunities available at the university and in the surrounding community. For
