Master of Engineering students complete 30 credits, comprised of key program elements as follows:

Core industry preparatory courses

(2 courses, 6 credits)

MENG 540: Management of High Tech Industries
MENG 570: Business Fundamentals for Engineers

Discipline-specific or interdisciplinary core courses

(5-6 courses, 15 - 18 credits, varies by department)

The Master of Engineering program in the discipline of materials engineering and science has a defined a set of requirements designed to give you in-depth technical knowledge. Our MSE master's program gives you flexibility in course selection within your engineering discipline.

Technical electives in a concentrated area

(2-3 courses, 6 - 9 credits, varies by department)

Technical elective options give you more opportunity to specialize in your area of interest, and really take advantage of Duke’s leading status in materials science and engineering. Specializations like these will distinguish you with potential employers. You will work with a faculty advisor to customize a curriculum that suits you. In some cases, an independent study sponsored by a faculty member may satisfy an elective requirement.

Internship

MENG 550: Master of Engineering Internship/project
MENG 551: Master of Engineering Internship/project Assessment

We require all MEng students to engage in an internship or project to complete the program. The many options available to fulfill this requirement give you a chance to practice what you’re learning, ask questions and hone your skills in a supportive environment. Internships may be paid or unpaid, corporate or governmental. Projects may take the form of applied research positions, provided the learning objectives are met.

Once your project or internship is completed, you will prepare a written and/or oral project report. Individual programs/majors may have additional requirements or exceptions to fulfill the internship component of the program.
