The DESIGN Graduate Experience
The Engineering Design (DESIGN) graduate program prepares the innovators of the future. We integrate the disciplines of engineering with design theory, business, psychology, and art through project-based learning. Through the graduate program, students develop the technical depth and breadth to solve problems related to products, systems, processes, and services.
Become a Master Designer
We are real-life problem solvers, focusing our curriculum on collaborative, client-driven project-based learning. We are creative thinkers and innovators, designing solutions to society's most complex dilemmas.
Degrees
We help you master DESIGN.
Master of Engineering in Engineering Design
- Intensive one-year, 32-credit program
- Completion of an engineering internship or a scholarly paper
- Ideal for working engineers who wish to dive deeper into design
Master of Science in Engineering Design
- Comprehensive two-year, 32-credit program
- Completion of a thesis
- Ideal for engineers wishing to pursue a traditional two-year, research-based master's degree
Both degrees provide ample opportunities for students to sharpen their holistic design skills while gaining substantial practical experience in a studio environment. Both offer a chance to explore engineering challenges through multidimensional context-specific lenses, from beginning to end—helping students become master designers.
