Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering

The Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering is a 30-credit hour degree program. The program allocates twenty-four credit hours of course work, distributed in the core, focus area, and elective groups, and six credit hours of thesis work. Three focus areas, specializations, are offered at RIT Dubai: Sustainability and energy efficiency, Thermo/Fluids Engineering, and Mechanics & Design. A special curriculum may be designed to fulfill the needs of certain individuals with proper approvals from the main campus. The program follows the evening classes model to better serve the working engineers who strive to further their expertise. The Mechanical Engineering Program Educational Objectives (PEO) are broad statements that describe what graduates are expected to attain within a few years of graduation and are based on the needs of the program’s constituencies.
