Master of Engineering, M.Eng.

The Master of Engineering program at SDSM&T is a course-based professional master’s degree program.   The Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) program builds upon the undergraduate engineering degree as a ‘capstone’ sequence composed of advanced engineering discipline courses and applied management and leadership courses.  The M. Eng. degree is a coursework-only professional program with a substantive management component for engineers employed in or preparing to enter technical management roles in business and industry.

Degree requirements:  The program requires 30 credits for graduation, of which15-24 credits of engineering content must be selected from one of three available technical emphasis areas in either Civil & Environmental Engineering (CEE), Electrical Engineering (EE), and Materials Engineering & Science (MES).  The remaining 6-15 credits must be management courses that complement the student’s professional goals. All courses must be approved in advance by the program coordinator of the student’s emphasis area.   

A thesis or final examination is not required.  A project report is optional.
