DEGREE DESCRIPTION
Our School offers programs of study for full timeand part-time students leading to the degrees ofMaster of Science (MS) in Mechanical Engineering(Pullman and Tri-Cities campuses), MS in MaterialsScience & Engineering (Pullman campus), andDoctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in MechanicalEngineering (Pullman campus). Our Schoolparticipates in the interdisciplinary degreeprograms of MS in Engineering, Ph.D. inEngineering Science, and Ph.D. in MaterialsScience & Engineering. Thesis and non-thesisoptions are available for the MS degree. Programsof study are individualized with an interdisciplinaryfocus. Students are expected to pursue theirdegree programs with success and to earn the MSdegree in two years and the Ph.D. in four years.The program will culminate with a final oralexamination and a written thesis (MS thesisoption), project report (MS non-thesis option), ordissertation (Ph.D.). Financial aid in the form of anassistantship is available for dedicated, quality fulltime MS and Ph.D. students.
TRAINING AND PROFESSIONALDEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Our School offers state-of-the-art research facilitiesenabling students to work on cutting-edge researchover a wide range of topics, presenting andpublishing results along with our world-classfaculty. Leadership, communication, andinstructional experience can be gained by PhDstudents through the option of serving as ateaching assistant for one or more courses duringtheir program. Serving on University committeespromotes professional development. Presenting
papers at or attending regional conferences andinternational conferences and proceedingsenriches scholarly development. Low-cost or freeworkshops on grant writing andleadership/professional development are routinelyoffered by the University. Opportunities exist forinternships in industry and national labs.
