Professional Master’s of Engineering

1、Goals

The professional master’s of engineering is designed for engineers who are already working in an engineering field, with emphasis on engineering applications, to train leaders in engineering technology and management for industry.

The students master a solid theoretical foundation, advanced technical methods for solving engineering problems, innovative technologies and the ability to independently manage technical projects.

2、Program Length

The professional Master’s program must be completed within 5 years, with the course results valid towards the graduation requirements for 5 years after the student begins the program.

3、Applicable fields

Power Mechanics and Engineering, coding as 041107

4、Training

The professional master’s degree candidate must complete no less than 30 course credits (with at least 22 credits in courses requiring an examination) including at least 23 credits of compulsory courses and 6 credits of optional courses.

The Professional Master’s program combines coursework and research with the students doing their research as part of their work after finishing their courses at the university. The students are mentored by a professor at the university and a supervisor at their place of work. The thesis subject is related to their work so that it is directly applicable to technical or research projects at their company.
