Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering

Khalifa University of Science and Technology in Abu Dhabi offers a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering, a graduate program that builds on undergraduate training to develop advanced expertise in the design, analysis, and operation of mechanical systems. Mechanical engineering as a field covers areas such as thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, dynamics and control, and manufacturing, and a master's program typically allows students to specialize in one or more of these areas through advanced coursework. Many programs also include a research project or thesis in which students investigate a specific technical problem, such as improving the performance of a mechanical system, developing new analytical or computational methods, or applying mechanical engineering principles to an emerging application area such as robotics or renewable energy. Laboratory work and computational modeling are common components of graduate study in this field, reflecting the discipline's reliance on both experimental testing and simulation. Graduates typically pursue careers as design engineers, research and development engineers, or technical specialists in industries including aerospace, automotive, energy, and manufacturing, and some go on to doctoral study or academic careers. The broad applicability of mechanical engineering across industries means graduates often have flexibility in choosing a sector to work in after completing the degree. The program is taught in English at Khalifa University of Science and Technology, located in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Admission generally requires a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or a closely related field.
