Master of Engineering (MEng)

The MEng is a practice-oriented degree that requires 30 credits of course work, including three credits of Applied Mathematics and three credits of Engineering Management. Up to six hours of credit is available for an applied project, and a culminating experience is required. Courses are offered by online distance learning.

The Arizona State University Master of Engineering (MEng) Partnership is designed to provide the opportunity for students to obtain a master's degree in engineering through distance learning online.

What is an online engineering course at ASU?

The courses and materials are provided through an Internet connection. Lectures are presented via streaming media and includes video along with other visual materials as seen in the classroom. Books, exams, and course packets are still paper-based. Online students have access to all other online resources offered by the university in the same manner as the on-campus students.

Please note that online courses require a high-speed Internet connection and a Windows multimedia computer

Program Requirements

The M.Eng. is a practice-oriented degree that requires 30 credits of course work, including:

• Applied engineering mathematics - 3 credits
• Engineering management/business - 3 credits
• Major requirements and electives 18-24 credits
• Applied project (593 Course) 0-6 credits

One half of all coursework, excluding the applied project, must be in engineering. A culminating event is required and will be identified by the student's advisory committee. It could be a final examination or the final report for a practice-oriented project (Applied Project XXX593). Additional requirements may exist for some academic units.

Areas of Study

In the MEng degree program, multiple emphasis areas are being developed and within each area are specific course requirements in addition to the general program requirements. Students can select:

• Embedded Systems
• Modeling and Simulation
• Quality and Reliability Engineering
• Systems Engineering

Sample Program of Study

• IEE 505 - Database Structures
• IEE 530 - Enterprise Modeling
• IEE 545 - Simulating Stochastic Systems
• IEE 552 - Strategic Technology Management (management course meeting MEng requirements)
• IEE 572 - Design of Experiments (math course meeting MEng requirements)
• IEE 574 - Intro to Operations Research

  Select two electives from one area:
  Software:
  
• CSE 563 - Software Requirements and Specifications
• CSE 566 - Software Project, Process and Quality Management
• CSE 591 - Modeling and Simulation Theory and Application
• CSE 598 - Software Analysis and Design
  
  Hardware:
  
• EEE 581 - Filtering of Stochastic Processes
• EEE 582 - Linear System Theory
• EEE 585 - Digital Control Systems
• EEE 586 - Nonlinear Control Systems
• EEE 587 - Optimal Control Systems
  
  Required Final Project:
• IEE 593 - Systems Applied Project

Advisory Committee

Students define the courses of study with an advisory committee that consists of up to three faculty members and potentially one or more practicing professionals. The chair of the advisory committee will track academic progress and provide student advice.

Please note that any classes taken at other universities (U of A or NAU) can only be used toward this degree program if they count towards your GPA, meaning they receive a letter-grade at the end of the course. Classes that do not have this option will not transfer over and cannot be used to meet degree program requirements. Examples of classes that will not transfer over are Pass/Fail classes, Capstone Projects, Reading and Conference, Research, etc.
