Key Advantages and Career Benefits

Enhance your ability to lead engine development projects

The Master of Engineering in Engine Systems (MEES) degree uses the Internet to deliver an innovative curriculum specific to internal combustion engines. This new degree program offers many advantages for engineers seeking to become successful technical leaders of engine development projects.

Improve your knowledge in a wide range of engineering disciplines

Virtually every subject in the mechanical engineering curriculum finds application in the engine. These subjects have more recently been joined by topics from electronics and chemical engineering. To be a successful engineering leader you must gain an appreciation for each of these subjects and be able to integrate and apply this knowledge to engine development projects that meet market demands.

Apply what you are learning immediately to work projects

MEES courses are problem-based and application-oriented providing knowledge that you can use immediately in your current projects while preparing you for future responsibilities and roles. You can tailor your learning in each course by selecting projects that use problems and challenges from your own workplace.

Complete this online engineering degree while working full time and traveling

You'll use the Internet, live Webconferencing and software applications to complete assignments and participate in group projects. The result is a flexible learning environment designed to make the best use of your time, without interrupting work, family or travel commitments.

Join experienced engineers from around the world

Throughout the program you'll work and share learning with class members, all practicing engineers from engine companies all over the world. You will work in a small team that over the course of the program will create an engine design for the team's chosen application.

Earn a degree from a top-ranked university and leader in engine research

The University of Wisconsin—Madison is one of the world's premier research and teaching universities. The Engine Research Center at the University of Wisconsin—Madison is the largest academic research center devoted to internal combustion engine research in the United States, and among the largest in the world. The Powertrain Control Research Laboratory also contributes to the UW's leadership in engine research.
