MS in mechanical engineering for an electrical

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

It is possible to pursue a Master of Science (MS) in Mechanical Engineering (ME) with a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Electrical Engineering (EE). However, candidates must address knowledge gaps in fundamental ME subjects such as thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and solid mechanics. Engaging with a graduate coordinator or academic advisor is essential to understand the specific prerequisites and course requirements necessary for admission into an MS program in ME.

PREREQUISITES
  • Fundamentals of Thermodynamics
  • Fluid Mechanics Principles
  • Solid Mechanics Concepts
  • Graduate Program Admission Requirements
NEXT STEPS
  • Research universities offering MS in Mechanical Engineering for students with a BS in Electrical Engineering.
  • Consult with academic advisors regarding prerequisite courses needed for ME graduate programs.
  • Explore online resources or textbooks on thermodynamics and fluid mechanics.
  • Investigate potential summer courses or workshops in mechanical engineering topics.
USEFUL FOR

Students transitioning from electrical engineering to mechanical engineering, academic advisors, and individuals exploring interdisciplinary graduate studies.

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...
