  • Promotes life-long learning
  • Serves the engineering profession

 

Program Objectives

In support of this mission, engineering graduate programs produces graduates who

  • Function as successful professional in a variety of engineering disciplines
  • Function effectively in multidisciplinary environments
  • Adapt to various environments
  • Participate in further knowledge building opportunities
  • Are progressing towards Professional Registration

Admission

Admission criteria described are minimum requirements for MS program consideration. These minimum MS admissions requirements do not guarantee acceptance into a specific graduate degree program or the UTC Graduate School

An applicant for admission to the graduate program in engineering must meet the requirements for admission to The Graduate School. For the Graduate School requirements see “Admission Requirements.” 

GRE is strongly recommended for students applying for a graduate assistantship. If you have an unrelated degree, your application will be reviewed and based on your background degree(s), foundation courses will be recommended so you are ready for the program.
