Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering

The Mechanical Engineering graduate program at Stony Brook University aims to equip students with advanced knowledge in fundamental principles and prepare them for careers in research and development, academia, or leadership roles in government agencies. Students can specialize in mechanical design, solid mechanics, or thermal sciences and fluid mechanics, focusing on experimental, analytical, or computational approaches. The program offers flexibility with many courses available in the late afternoon or evening, making it suitable for part-time students. The Master of Science (MS) program is designed for students with professional aspirations in industry or government. Stony Brook also offers a combined five-year Bachelor of Engineering/Master of Science program. Two new MS specializations are available: Energy Technologies, focusing on hands-on experience and theory in areas like heat pumps, solar thermal, wind turbines, and fuel cells; and Robotics, covering design, analysis, perception, and control of robotic systems with a balance of theory, programming, and hardware experience.
