Graduate Catalog |Master of Engineering in Mechanical EngineeringThe Master of Engineering degree is designed for practicing engineers and technical professionals who seek anopportunity to enroll in graduate studies to further enhance their technical skills and career developmentopportunities. When possible, late afternoon and early evening classes are offered to accommodate the workschedule of the majority of the applicants.Educational Objectives and OutcomesObjectives1. Provide the PI partners in the oil and gas industry with employees who have the knowledge, skills, andeducational background required to synthesize technical issues and economic/business management issuesin the solution of mechanical engineering problems;2. Provide graduates who move into, and perform well in management positions;3. Provide the PI’s oil and gas industry partners with a pool of highly educated personnel who can utilize theirknowledge of technology to better develop business opportunities;4. Advance the technological profile of the UAE and its oil and gas industry.OutcomesUpon completion of the Master of Engineering Degree in Mechanical Engineering, graduates will:1. Be able to successfully apply advanced concepts of mechanical engineering and economic analysis to thesolution of mechanical engineering problems.2. Perform well in management positions in UAE and other major international oil and gas, and energycompanies.Degree RequirementsInformation provided in the following sections details the M.Eng. degree program requirements, graduate coursesoffered, procedure for requesting deviation from degree requirements, and program of study.The M.Eng. degree requires minimum of 33 credit hours coursework including: 6 credit hours of engineering core courses, 6 credit hours of business/management core courses, 18 credit hours of technical elective courses, 2 credit hours of Graduate Seminar (MEEG 595 and MEEG 596), 1 credit hour of Technical and Scientific Writing (COMM 501).The list of engineering core, business / management core and technical elective courses for the M.Eng. degree is givenbelow.Master of Engineering in Mechanical EngineeringEngineering Core CoursesCredit HoursMEEG 501 Advanced Mechanical Engineering Analysis 3MEEG 528 Advanced Vibrations 3MEEG 536 Measurements and Instrumentation 3MEEG 543 Applied Finite Element Analysis 3MEEG 544 Advanced Mechanics of Materials 3MEEG 565 Computational Fluid Dynamics 3MEEG 566 Multiphase Flow Engineering 3Business / Management Core CoursesCredit HoursMEEG 506 Project Management 3MEEG 579 Project Cost Accounting and Finance 3ENGR 531 Technology and Innovation Management 3Page 57
