Introduction

Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics, MS is a Masters program taught at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, USA. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time options.

The Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics MS (MSAEM) is offered through the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics as an on-campus program and an off-campus (distance learning) program. The degree can be earned by coursework only or by a combination of coursework and an approved thesis. The program includes two core courses: one from Mechanics and one from Mathematics, plus elective, thesis, and culminating experience requirements.

Students complete the degree using either the Plan I thesis option or the Plan II non-thesis option. Plan I includes 24 hours of coursework, 6 hours of thesis research, and a committee-approved thesis with an oral defense and written document. Plan II is coursework only. Independent study hours (AEM 593/AEM 594) count as elective coursework with limits that differ by plan.

The program’s distance option is open to US students and international students residing in the US with appropriate visas. On-campus students supported by assistantships are expected to complete an approved thesis, while most distance learning students elect the coursework-only degree option.

Admission Requirements

The minimum requirements for admission in Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics, MS at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center for all applicants (Domestic or International) are:

program specific academic requirment set by University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
English Language OR any other language requirments as set by University of Pittsburgh Medical Center as pre-requiste for admission in Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics, MS.

Note: Please check the university website in the link below.

In addition to the minimum Graduate School admission requirements, to be considered for regular admission an application must include:

Three letters of recommendation (only two letters for Accelerated Masters Program applicants)
Statement of Purpose
GRE (optional)

Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics standards are higher than the graduate school minimums, and all application materials are carefully considered. Meeting minimum graduate school requirements does not guarantee admission into the Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics MSAEM program.

Students applying to the Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics MSAEM program without a bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering or engineering mechanics are required to complete the following coursework from an accredited university (if not already completed) prior to applying:

Calculus (12 semester credit hours)
Ordinary Differential Equations
12 semester credit hours of calculus-based engineering mechanics - Statics, Dynamics, Mechanics of Materials and Fluid Mechanics.

Students have the opportunity to enroll in the mechanics courses through the Office of Teaching Innovation and Digital Education as a non-degree seeking (NDS) applicant.
