The MEES program will benefit engineers involved in engine development projects needing broad-based technical knowledge and project leadership skills. This degree is designed for engineers who are planning to continue working in a technical capacity and assuming new roles and responsibilities in leading projects. Engineers from companies that design and manufacture internal combustion engines of all sizes—from lawnmowers to diesel ship engines—will benefit from this curriculum.
Student Profile
If you are an engineer interested in furthering your expertise in internal combustion engine development, then the Master of Engineering in Engine System is the degree for you. MEES provides the technical integration skills required to lead new engine development programs. MEES students are employed throughout the internal combustion engine industry, as well as with major suppliers and vehicle manufacturers.
Experience: Engineering experience of MEES students ranges from early career engineers to senior engineers with more than 30 years of experience who look at MEES as the capstone of their careers. All MEES students have previously earned a BS degree, and several already possess MS, MBA, and even PhD degrees.
Responsibilities: Graduates of the MEES program will have the technical preparation needed for significant responsibilities in engine development. In most cases these engineers are either preparing to take the next step in their careers or to improve their effectiveness as technical leaders in their current position.
Professional development needs: MEES applicants typically weigh the objectives of this program versus a discipline-specific MS degree. Engineers who choose MEES have concluded that the MS degree does not give them the broader, cross-discipline skills they need for engine development project leadership. They review the MEES curriculum and see a close match with their interests and career goals. The program's engaging, accessible format, and exceptional reputation clinch the decision that MEES is the right fit.
Career goals: In all cases the common thread is that these are engineers who love the engine industry and want to increase their effectiveness in leading and contributing to engineering projects, programs and teams. If that sounds like you, take a serious look at what MEES has to offer you and your career.
