Master in Mechanical Engineering (Master's)

Tuition is Tuition for the programme is $750 per credit hour for in-state students and $950 per credit hour for out-of-state students..

The programme emphasizes theory and hands-on learning in mechanical engineering with a focus on real-world applications. Students engage in coursework and research that applies engineering principles to industrial challenges. The curriculum is developed with input from industry professionals to ensure technical relevance. Students can choose between a thesis or coursework-only path based on their career goals.

Focus areas include Automotive, Energy Systems, Manufacturing, Mechatronics, Solid Mechanics, Dynamics, and Vibration Systems, Thermal-Fluid Systems.

The programme requires 30 credit hours. Students may choose a coursework-only option with 12 core credits and 18 elective credits, or a thesis option with 12 core credits, 9 elective credits, and a 9-credit thesis.

Graduates enter roles in automotive engineering, energy systems design, manufacturing process development, mechatronics integration, structural analysis, and thermal-fluid system optimization.

Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or a related field. A minimum GPA of 3.0 is required. Official transcripts, a statement of purpose, and letters of recommendation are required.

The programme totals about 30 credit hours. On-campus, evening classes, full-time or part-time, typically completed in one to two years. For international students, tuition is below the median for US programmes. The institution admits about 80% of applicants.

On LTU’s Southfield campus, students learn with technology, project-based coursework, and facilities connected to fields such as engineering, advanced manufacturing, data, design, and health sciences. Campus life includes four housing units, more than 100 student organizations, athletics, tours, and events. The Detroit Institute of Arts’ Inside|Out program has also brought large-scale reproductions of artworks to campus. The university’s address is 21000 West Ten Mile Road, Southfield, Michigan.

Lawrence Technological University began in 1932, when Henry and Edsel Ford helped launch the school by providing guidance and space in a former Model T assembly plant. Its approach connects theory and practice, taking abstract ideas into real-world problem solving. The university’s five colleges provide programs in architecture and design, arts and sciences, business and IT, engineering, and health sciences. Offerings include certificates, undergraduate and graduate degrees, integrated bachelor’s and master’s programs, and doctoral study. Health sciences programs include Nursing, Physician Assistant studies, and Cardiovascular Perfusion.

International students use the same application as U.S. students. LTU offers online and campus-based study through Specs@LTU, with media programs that combine current technology, hands-on experience, specialized equipment, and project work. Across the university, students can pursue small classes, faculty mentoring, internships, co-ops, and research opportunities. Programs in data and intelligent systems, advanced manufacturing, engineering, business analytics, information technology, and healthcare connect study with changing professional needs.
