A  unified  master’s  degree  program  in  the  College  of  Engineering  (Master  of  Science  in
Engineering (MSEng) is proposed. The program will offer study opportunities in the following areas 
of strength:
        Aerospace Engineering
        Chemical Engineering
        Electrical Engineering
        Mechanical Engineering.

The program also offers an option for interdisciplinary studies aligned with the Academic 
Excellence’s goal of TU’s 2021-2026 Strategic Plan. The unified master of engineering degree 
program will reduce the number of degree programs offered by the university.

The program provides three options, including:

1.   Master of Science in Engineering (MSEng, thesis option), The MSEng thesis option degree will 
equip engineering professionals with knowledge of contemporary practices in engineering as well as 
allowing them to conduct original research. In addition, it will enhance their technical competence 
in their selected engineering discipline. A comprehensive research thesis in the chosen discipline 
will include literature searching, experimental design, testing and evaluation, discussion of 
results, conclusion, and recommendations. The outcome includes a technical publication and a 
conference presentation. The Thesis option requires 30 Credit Hours, as follows:
a.   Core Courses (12 Credit Hours)
b.   Concentration Courses (12 Credit Hours)
c.   Thesis (6 Credit Hours)

2.   Master of Science in Engineering (MSEng, non-thesis concentration), The MSEng non-thesis 
option degree will equip engineering professionals with knowledge of contemporary practices in 
engineering. In addition, it will enhance their technical competence in their selected engineering 
discipline. This option requires 30 Credit Hours, as follow:
a. Core Courses (12 Credit Hours)

b. Concentration Courses (15 Credit Hours)
c. Special Topics* (3 Credit Hours)
*The special topic course can be taken by students registering for the MSEng thesis option or
the MSEng non-thesis degree option. It can cover topics of special interest in the chosen 
engineering focus area. The course requirements will be agreed upon between the faculty and the 
student before registering for the course. The course content can be engineering science, 
engineering analysis, engineering simulation, or engineering design.

3.   Master of Science in Engineering (MSEng, thesis or non-thesis - Interdisciplinary). This 
option is ideal for engineers desiring to broaden their education and knowledge in disciplines 
different from their undergraduate studies. This option requires 30 Credit Hours, as follows:
a. Core Courses (12 Credit Hours)
b. Concentration Courses (9 Credit Hours)
c. Open* Courses (6 Credit Hours from one or two disciplines)
d. Special Topics (3 Credit Hours)

* Courses taken from other disciplines.

Most of the courses in the MSEng program will be taught in-person. However, online courses approved 
for the curriculum and taught online by Tuskegee University faculty, or by faculty at other 
ABET-accredited programs, will be allowed. Students can transfer or take up to 9 credit hours from 
another institution, subject to the approval by the faculty advisor. The classification of the 
courses are:
Required Core Courses
1.   MATH 0561 - Advanced Math I - 3 cr.
2.   MATH 0562 - Advanced Math II - 3 cr.
3.   MENG 0540 - Engineering Management - 3 cr.
4.   AENG 0531 - Systems Engineering - 3 cr.

Concentration Courses by Discipline
The courses listed in the concentration classification below are established by each department,
and may modified as deemed necessary by the department. Other courses not shown on this list,
but listed in the university catalog, may also be selected by the student subject to approval by 
the faculty advisor.
