Program Page

The Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering offers a program of graduate study leading to a Master of Science in Engineering (M.S.E.) degree with a focus in renewable and clean energy. This increasingly critical field of engineering focuses on alternative energy technologies that hold promise of becoming a substantial source of energy for the United States.These technologies include solar energy, wind power, hydrogen fuels, fuel cells and nuclear energy. In addition, attention will be paid to efficiently using of the energy sources we already have.

Facilities

Graduate students have access to a wide range of modern facilities including classrooms, laboratories and computer systems, interconnected by local and wide area communication networks.Students will have access to laboratories not only at Wright State University, but also facilites located at other DAGSI institutes.

Collaboration

The Dayton Area Graduate Studies Institute (DAGSI) provides collaboration opportunities through the graduate engineering courses, faculty, and research resources of the Air Force Institute of Technology, the University of Dayton, The Ohio State University and the University of Cincinnati.

Graduate Assistantships

Assistantships are available to students on a competitive basis. Students who are awarded assistantship support are eligible for stipends and remission of tuition fees. Interest in financial support should be indicated at the time of application.

Degree Requirements

Students should plan a program of study in consultation with the department chair. The program of study should be finalized by the time the student completes 12 credit hours of graduate study.
