Admissions
Scholarships and Funding
The School of Science and Engineering offers graduate fellowship awards and assistantships each year. Assistantships provide tuition, stipend and health insurance. There are also many opportunities for students to receive funding through external research grants that are managed by individual faculty.
Curriculum
Saint Louis University's Master of Science in Engineering is 30 hours in total. The M.S. in Engineering allows students to pursue a personalized curriculum that fits their interests and professional goals. While the majority of the courses will be in the area of emphasis, students have the freedom to take courses in another engineering or secondary discipline to meet individual professional goals and interests. Faculty advisors will work closely with students to ensure that not only are requirements met, but students are prepared for a career in their chosen field.
Fieldwork and Research Opportunities
School of Science and Engineering graduate students gain valuable experience working with both faculty and peers. Additional opportunities to publish in scientific journals and attend professional conferences prepare our graduates for careers in industry or academia.
Saint Louis University’s location in a vibrant and industry-rich city means that faculty members have access to and relationships with industry professionals. The School of Science and Engineering provides many opportunities for these professionals to interact with students, share their real-world experiences, network and even collaborate on research projects. Therefore, students have access not only to top-notch faculty but to the most recent developments in industry.
The expert faculty of the School of Science and Engineering collaborate with graduate students in groundbreaking research in the following areas:
- Biomaterials
- Engineering Education
- Fluid Dynamics
- Haptic and Human-Machine Interfaces
- Hydrodynamics and Environmental Fluid Mechanics
- Infrastructure
- Innovation and Entrepreneurship
- Manufacturing and Materials
- Solid and Fluid Biomechanics
- Space Systems
- Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine
- Transportation
- Unmanned Aerial Systems and Flight Control Systems
- Water Quality and Treatment
The Master of Science in Engineering is offered with the following concentrations:
- Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering
- Biomedical Engineering
- Civil Engineering
- Electrical and Computer Engineering
- Engineering Physics
This program is 30 total credit hours. A limited number of hours may be taken at the 4000 level, with program approval; all other courses will be graduate level courses (5000 level and above). Most of the courses students take will be in one of these disciplines—aerospace engineering (AENG), biomedical engineering (BME), civil engineering (CVNG), electrical and computer engineering (ECE), engineering physics (PHYS) or mechanical engineering (MENG)—but students have the freedom to take courses in other engineering disciplines or in other non-engineering disciplines where relevant to the student’s program of study.
With the help of their faculty advisor, Master of Science in Engineering students will prepare a program of study, developed within the context of each student’s background and career goals. The programs are customizable to suit students’ professional goals.
For students who wish to continue on to a Ph.D. program or enter into a research career, we also offer the Project or Thesis option. For the Non-Thesis Project option, 3 of the 30 total credits will be devoted to the Master’s Project, and for the Thesis option, 6 of the 30 total credits must be in Thesis Research.
Program Outcome
- Graduates will be able to apply knowledge of professional and analytical skills that shows an in-depth understanding of theoretical and practical concepts.
- Graduates will be able to communicate clearly and creatively a mastery of topics required to solve complex engineering problems through written and oral presentations.
- Graduates will be able to conduct guided research that exhibits independent thought required to pursue advanced work addressing problems in broader contexts. (thesis and project option.)
- Graduates will be able to exhibit independent thought and ideas required to pursue advanced work addressing problems in broader contexts. (non-thesis option)
Career Opportunities
Graduates are prepared to enter the industry as an engineer in their chosen concentration or conduct research for private or government organizations. Corporations and government agencies where successful M.S. in Engineering alumni can be found include:
