Advance your ability to design, analyze and improve systems in fast-moving manufacturing and CAD-driven environments. ODU’s online Master of Engineering with a concentration in mechanical engineering helps you build expertise in computer-aided design and manufacturing technologies as industries push for higher quality and shorter production cycles.
Our program carries a particular emphasis in PLM solutions for the collaborative data environment. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is an integrated, information-driven approach to all aspects of a product’s life from design inception to manufacture, deployment, maintenance, and disposal at the end of its useful life.
The program is grounded in mechanical engineering practice and welcomes applicants with preparation in mechanical or aerospace engineering, engineering mechanics or closely related fields such as physics or mathematics. Applicants from other backgrounds may be asked to complete leveling coursework before beginning graduate study.
This is a non-thesis degree that totals 30 credit hours of coursework. In your final semester, you will either pass a comprehensive exam that covers your plan of study or complete a 3-credit project with written and oral presentations.
