What is Masters in engineering: Definition and 14 Discussions

Hi PhysicsForums! I was hoping I could get some advice on a common issue amongst physics majors. I am currently pursuing a degree in physics and am halfway through my second year. I have really enjoyed it so far, but I have also developed an interest in electrical engineering recently...

My school has a 5 1/2 year masters program. You do a 4 year bachelors and you can a masters in 3 semesters instead of four. However, my school does not have many professors which specialize in what interests me, and there is another school nearby which has a lot of professors who specialize in...

I am currently enrolled in mechanical engineering course in my college for bachelors. Can i change my stream and go for astronautics in masters?

I am currently studying BS Audio & Music Engineering (EE with a musical focus, you can guess what school am at). I am a second semester freshman (as of Jan 2016). My school provides an option of a 4+1 program with MS in EE, of which I was considering, but my parents want me to get an MBA...

Hi everyone! I was wondering if I could get some help with regards to a possible change of plans. I am currently a junior at UC Berkeley majoring in physics with a ~3.6 gpa. My original plan was to pursue a physics PhD but I may wish to apply for a masters degree in engineering specifically...

I graduated in 2011 with a bachelor's degree in Economics and no clue of what kind of career I wanted. I fell into insurance and don't care much for it. Since graduating, I have become better acquainted with myself and discovered an interest in astrophysics and computer programming. I...

Hello fellow PF members, Some background about me: I am currently a senior (actually is my 6th year in college) in Mechanical Engineering at Oregon State University. I am on track and will be graduating next summer. Given how long I have been in college, I would want to go straight to work...

Hey All I need some advice I graduated from a small liberal arts college with a BA in Physics. I dealt with quite a bit in college, and as a result (coupled with my unwillingness to study as much as I should have), I ended up with a 2.8 and pretty much no research experience. I've applied...

So I am currently going to be entering my 3rd year of an Applied Math BS at Fresno Pacific University (I know its a nobody school but I am there for athletics). I have always wanted to do engineering but my school does not offer it. I was wondering if having an Applied Math BS and getting a...

Friends, I have completed BE in automotive engineering recently and now planning to do masters in engineering from a university in Australia. Will u please recommend me the fields that would be relevant with my bachelors degree and also as in good demand . I am thinking on going for...

I passed my A levels in Physics, Maths And Further Maths AAB, and am really fascinated about Astrophysics, so i thought i might be up to the challenge. However i was curious as to whether it would be possible to get a masters in some sort of Engineering, with an undergrad degree in Astrophysics...

Whats up guys. I have a BA in mathematics and want to get a master's in Civil or Nuclear Engineering. I have not taken any Calc. based physics nor chemistry; I have also not taken any engineering courses. Question: How long will it take me to get a Master's in engineering. Any suggestions...

So I've just finished my first year of mechanical engineering in Australia (pretty generic subjects) and now is the time i need to make sure I am doing the right major. I've been quite sure throughout the year that mechanical is what I want to do however after doing my first unit of electrical...

I'll be finished my BS in mathematical physics next spring, and have been thinking about what to do after. One idea I came up with was to do a masters in Engineering (probably mechanical, aerospace, or electrical). Does anyone have any information on if this is doable? Will I have sufficient...
