Master of Science in Technology

The School of Engineering and Technology offers graduate education in technology with the primary goal of developing advanced levels of practitioners in industry. The Master of Science in Technology degree program is designed so that graduates holding a B.S. degree in a technology discipline or a related area can complete their degrees as a full-time student or while working full-time. The graduate degree program offers concentration or area of specialization in Applied Information Technology, Construction Engineering Management Technology, Facilities Management (an online program), and Organizational Leadership and Supervision in addition to more interdisciplinary plans of study that draw courses from the various technology programs in the School. The curriculum consists of a total of 33 credit hours, including a directed project, and can be completed in four semesters (two academic years) and must be completed within five years.

Graduate Programs in Biomedical Engineering

Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary program and a joint effort of the Purdue School of Engineering and Technology, the Purdue School of Science, and the Indiana University Schools of Medicine and Dentistry at Indiana University–Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI). In addition to these participating academic units, the program operates in close collaboration with several centers and facilities on campus, and with the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Purdue University, West Lafayette.

Students interested in the M.S.B.M.E. degree should apply directly to the Graduate Programs Office of the Purdue School of Engineering and Technology in Indianapolis. Students with a master's degree, or who are solely interested in the Ph.D. degree, should apply to the Department of Biomedical Engineering at West Lafayette, even though they may be resident and study on the Indianapolis campus.

For more information about the M.S.B.M.E visit http://engr.iupui.edu/bme/ms_bme_pos.shtml?menu=ms.

Graduate Programs in Electrical and Computer Engineering

Students can earn the Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering (M.S.E.C.E.), and the Master of Science in Engineering (M.S.E.), through the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Purdue School of Engineering and Technology at IUPUI. The M.S.E.C.E. degree is organized into several areas of study, including computer engineering, controls and automation, communication and signal processing, and VLSI and circuit design. The M.S.E. degree is interdisciplinary in nature and is primarily for Bachelor's degree holders in fields other than electrical or computer engineering. Students holding a bachelor's degrees in fields other than electrical or computer engineering may pursue the M.S.E.C.E. if they complete a prescribed list of prerequisite courses.

Qualified students may be authorized to pursue the Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering at IUPUI. Programs leading to the Ph.D. in electrical and computer engineering are jointly administered with the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University, West Lafayette.

Graduate Programs in Mechanical Engineering

The Department of Mechanical Engineering has an outstanding and up-to-date engineering faculty with expertise and research interests in the areas of advanced manufacturing, advanced materials, biomechanics, composites, computational fluid dynamics, computer-aided design, computer-aided manufacturing, combustion, controls, fluid mechanics, finite element analysis, fracture, heat transfer, propulsion robotics, solid and structural mechanics, stress analysis, and turbomachinery. The department offers graduate programs of study that lead to the degrees of Master Science (M.S.), Master of Science in Engineering (M.S.E.), Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (M.S.M.E.), and Ph.D. The program leading to the Ph.D. in mechanical engineering is jointly administered with the School of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University, West Lafayette.

The department also offers combined bachelor's and master's degree programs, in which students may receive both B.S. and M.S. degrees in five years at IUPUI. These degree programs are open to qualified undergraduates at IUPUI, leading to either: 1) B.S. and M.S.M.E. degrees (B.S./M.S.M.E.) for mechanical engineering undergraduates, or 2) a B.S. degree in physics and an M.S. degree in mechanical engineering (B.P.M.M.E.) for physics undergraduates. The combined degrees prepare students for advanced engineering careers with two degrees (bachelor's and master's) in as little as five years.
