Program Overview

The Master of Engineering (General) degree is designed for engineering professionals working in the mobility (automotive) industry. Students can broaden their skill set for subjects including Autonomous Vehicles, Electric Vehicles and Artificial Intelligence. All students must complete two mobility systems fundamentals courses (which two depend on your undergraduate degree), courses on automotive controls and signal processing, two management courses, and four technical courses.

Program Objectives

All graduates of the Master of Engineering (General) program will:

Deepen their knowledge and increase their mastery of technical areas in modern automotive system design and development.
Be better prepared to advance in positions of technical and/or managerial leadership.
Develop their ability to sustain a life-long career in engineering, through continuing self-directed learning and professional development activities.

To receive the Master of Engineering (General) degree a student must complete 30 credit hours of approved graduate work. There is no option for thesis work.

Professional Development Seminars

Students in the professionally-oriented Master of Engineering General program may receive credit for taking seminars either through Kettering University’s Professional Development Program or SAE International’s Professional Development Program.

To receive credit students must complete a total of four Continuing Education Units (CEU), equivalent to 40 hours of instruction, which have been reviewed and approved by a faculty review committee, consistent with Graduate academic policy.

The transfer of credit must be supported by documentation from the provider for each individual applicant seeking such transfer.

Graduate Assistantship

There are no opportunities for graduate assistant positions in the M. Eng. Program.
