Mechanical Engineering, Controls and Dynamic Systems Specialty, M.S.

Requirements for the Master of Science

Course requirements for the M.S. in Mechanical Engineering are suited to the applicant’s specialty, which is specified by the student in the admissions process or during the first advising session. Students must take at least 21 credits out of the 30 credits needed for the degree at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering. No more than 6 credits in “Guided Reading” courses are allowed. Validation credit is not allowed, but the graduate advisor may waive specific requirements (and substitute designated ones), based upon the student’s prior studies or
experience. Transfer credits are not granted for:

• undergraduate courses;
• courses counted toward satisfying undergraduate degree requirements;
• courses not related to the graduate program as stated in this catalog;
• courses that received a grade lower than B.
