MS in mechanical engineering for an electrical

AI Thread Summary
It is possible to pursue a Master's in Mechanical Engineering (MS in ME) with a Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering (BS in EE), although the curricula differ significantly. Students may need to complete prerequisite courses in areas like thermodynamics and fluid mechanics to bridge knowledge gaps. Consulting with a graduate coordinator or academic adviser is recommended to understand the specific requirements and course load needed. Additionally, inquiries about universities offering such programs and their admission criteria are common among students transitioning from EE to ME. Overall, careful planning and additional coursework can facilitate this academic shift.

Hi

I am studying electrical engineering and I will graduate next year, recently I have grown an interest in mechanical engineering , I do not regret choosing electrical engineering,
I have really enjoyed what I have learned, I regret that I didn't have a chance to double major in EE and ME in my University.

Can I get an MS in mechanical engineering with a BS in EE , or is it just not possible ,
I don't mind taking subjects from ME before graduation , but exactly how many subjects do I
have to take, please help me.

Thank you in advance.

Well of course it's possible. The curricula are quite different obviously, I doubt you've taken many (if any) courses in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, solid mechanics or the like.

You'd be well served to talk to a graduate coordinator or your adviser to discuss your plans and what it would exactly entail to make up that knowledge gap. Ultimately it's possible, but may not be with your personal time constraints/expectations.
 
I am pursuing my BE in electrical engg. I am in 3rd year. Can u please give details as per where are such courses offered and in which universities can i get admission for MS/MTech in mechanical engg. It would be a great help.. Thanx...
 
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
