The master’s degree with an emphasis on hybrid electric drive vehicle engineering provides students with an advanced program in the design, calibration, and operating characteristics of electric-drive and hybrid-drive vehicles. The 30-credit MEng program is based on a distance-learning course initially developed by Michigan Tech, General Motors, and AVL, and selected by the Michigan Academy of Green Mobility for training automotive engineers. A Department of Energy grant funded the development of the full curriculum and mobile laboratory. The interdisciplinary program was designed with input from Argonne National Laboratory and the following industry partners: MAGMA, General Motors, Eaton, Horiba, MathWorks, Schweitzer Engineering Labs, and Woodward.

Join one of the nation’s largest ME-EM departments, and work with scholars to achieve technological, environmental, industrial, and societal sustainability. Our graduate program is ranked in the nation’s top fifty by US News & World Report. Distance-learning, research-based MS and PhD degrees maintain the high standards of Michigan Tech graduate education. The public defense of theses, dissertations, reports, and projects normally occurs on campus. Students in partnered programs may take up to one-third of the required course work credits from other universities, with prior approval. PhD students are admitted and conduct research with the same standards and rigor as on-campus students; thus, they should be working in a corporate, federal, or similar R&D environment. Research credit fees or a formal research contract may be required.
