This visionary, innovative and interdisciplinary program produces specialists in emerging
and exciting mechanical engineering fields with a broad education in the fundamentals
of engineering.
We are committed to academic excellence and research in all areas pertinent to mechanical
and energy engineering. You will study the fundamentals and applications of engineering
and develop life-long learning skills within a research/project-oriented environment.
UNT is constantly assessing its degree programs with an eye on tomorrow's marketplace.
The College of Engineering is a pioneer in developing project-oriented curricula,
allowing you to apply knowledge in interesting and tangible real-world applications.
Our state-of-the-art laboratories and research facilities are the envy of universities
nationwide.
With small class sizes, you can work closely with distinguished faculty members to
solve complex problems faced by businesses and consumers. Our faculty members have
been honored by various organizations such as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers
and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers.
You also will have the opportunity to network through valuable contacts we have established
with leading companies and corporate partners.

Degree Requirements
Students pursuing a master's degree in mechanical and energy engineering must plan
their degree with the assistance of their faculty advisor and the advisory committee.
The requirements for graduation include at least 30 semester credit hours and maintenance
of at least a B average in all graduate courses. This is a STEM-designated master's
program.
Option 1: Master of Science, Thesis Option (30 Credits)
Graduate credit requirements:
The graduate credit requirement for the thesis option of the Master of Science degree
is 30 semester credit hours chosen as follows:
- Twelve semester credit hours of coursework chosen from the core and one area of specialization
in general energy, thermal energy, and fluids, or mechanics and controls listed in
the Department of Mechanical and Energy Engineering web site and graduate handbook.
- Twelve semester credit hours of coursework chosen from 5000 or higher courses offered
by the Department of Mechanical and Energy Engineering and related departments. The
selection of courses should be done with the approval of the student's thesis advisor
and MEEN graduate advisor. A maximum of 3 credit hours of directed study or research
is allowed as part of the 24 hours of coursework.
- An oral presentation of the master's thesis is required. A decision on acceptance
of the thesis will be made by the student's advisory committee. For the thesis format,
additional preparation guidelines can be found at gradschool.unt.edu.

Things to Note
Things to Note:
- The application to the Toulouse Graduate School does not come instantly to the department
once completed. There is a process the Graduate School takes before they mail the
application to the department physically. Please allow up to, possibly, two weeks
for it to get to the department. Please contact the Toulouse Graduate School in regards
to a timeline and their official deadlines.
- International Students: Please have the application completed four months in advanced
before desired semester starts. Ensure you are also in contact with the International
School and the department about the required documents necessary for enrollment.
- Once the application is completed the committee will meet and respond with a decision
as soon as possible after funding is considered. Expediting is not guaranteed, but
will be considered under request and provided reason (outside of late application)
with funding decisions considered following soon after. Holidays and weather may affect
response.
- Staff and faculty cannot provide detailed updates in regards to application process
but please feel free to reach out with inquiries or concerns to either Dr. Tae-Youl
Choi or the faculty member you are interested in researching with.
- The department no longer takes email submissions for documents.
