Why This Program & What You'll Learn

In our engineering master's program, you'll work directly with faculty in a way usually reserved for PhD programs. Our MS students publish multiple scholarly articles as first authors – a testament to the quality of the research.

You'll learn from active researchers that are continually developing new technologies and methods in diverse areas of engineering. SET faculty include high-profile investigators in additive manufacturing, internet of things, wireless networks, hardware security, mechatronics, photonics, bio mechanics, haptics, autonomous vehicles, nano materials, environmental sustainability, valorization, and water treatment.

The CMU School of Engineering and Technology has specialized labs that are equipped with the same tools and technologies you will use in your engineering career. Our facilities provide you with unique opportunities to collaborate with renowned researchers that are driving the next technological revolution. 

We designed our degree for working professionals who need to balance graduate school with job responsibilities. Our program is also designed for students to customize their degree plan that closely aligns with their career objectives.

With small classes and attentive professors, our graduate program promotes strong one-on-one relationships between students and faculty. We have a collaborative environment in which students offer mutual support and contribute to each other's success.

Alumni of CMU’s Engineering programs can also be found continuing their education in highly ranked graduate and PhD programs at John Hopkins University, Purdue University, University of Illinois, and University of Michigan.
