One-year Master's Degree Programs
Master of Science in Engineering at the Nano-scale
The master of science (M.S.) in engineering at the nano-scale is an intensive one-year, 30-credit program requiring completion of a scholarly paper. This highly interdisciplinary program is ideal for individuals with a bachelor's degree in science, engineering, mathematics, or related fields who wish to gain an expanded knowledge and hands-on practices of nanotechnology that can be applied across a broad range of applications and/or who are planning to pursue careers in biomedicine, aerospace, electronics, or advanced materials.

Master of Science in Engineering Science and Mechanics
The master of science (M.S.) in engineering science and mechanics is an intensive one-year, 32-credit program requiring completion of a scholarly paper. Engineering science and mechanics is inherently interdisciplinary in its integration of a strong foundation in science and mathematics with the engineering disciplines. This is interpreted in its broadest context and is applied to multiple aspects of engineering design, materials, and systems, and includes, but is not limited to, electronics, structures, energy (nuclear, fossil, petrochemical, wind) power plants and piping, civil infrastructure (bridges, buildings, roads), communications and electronics, transportation (automotive and hybrid vehicles, aircraft and aerospace, ships), materials behavior, the human body, and even the brain.
