Master's Program
Master of Science in Integrated Engineering
The Master of Science in Integrated Engineering (MS-Int. E) degree is a customizable 33-hour multidisciplinary program that enables students to tailor their engineering coursework to align with their interests. The Integrated Engineering MS is designed to give students the skills needed to integrate engineering with knowledge from other disciplines to solve complex, socio-technical challenges that are difficult to address from a single disciplinary perspective. Students therefore combine an integrated engineering core with a concentration in another field, either in or outside engineering. Possible concentrations are numerous, including education, leadership, business administration, computer science, information technology, and fields in the sciences, liberal arts, and health sciences.
Admission Requirements
Applicants are expected to have a Bachelor of Science in an Engineering or related Physical Sciences field or the equivalent. Depending upon selected area of concentration, students might need to complete deficiency undergraduate coursework.
A fast-track option is available for BSEIL students!
Integrated Engineering Core (18 Credit Hours)
The Integrated Engineering MS offers students a unique opportunity to create their own degree plans. Students complete four required core courses and then select two graduate-level electives in an engineering area.
- EEL 5334 Engineering Law and Ethics
- EEL 5340 Engineering Leadership Development
- EEL 5341 Advanced Finance Management for Engineers
- EEL 5330 Sustainable Engineering Innovation in Tech
Plus - 6 hrs of Graduate-Level Engineering Electives
Concentration in Related Field (9-12 Credit Hours)
Concentration options are as numerous as the disciplines taught at UTEP. To qualify as a concentration, students will work with the program director to select courses that all contribute to a similar theme or topic. These courses should also support the work you plan to do for your final examination.
Final Exam: Project or Thesis Option (3-6 Credit Hours)
Students have the option to demonstrate their expertise through either a practical capstone design project (1 semester), a research project (1 semester), or a thesis (2 semesters). This choice allows students to align their education with their career goals, offering a personalized learning experience. Many students work with their employers to identify projects.
| 1st Semester | 2nd Semester |
|---|---|
