Start your career stronger with anengineering master’sIf you embrace the challenges of working with mechanicalsystems and want to start your career on a rewarding path,the 1-year accelerated Master of Science in MechanicalEngineering programs from UW–Madison were designedfor you. The program is for students who are careerfocused and ready to contribute to their field; no thesis isrequired. Engineers with master’s degrees earn an averageof 22% more than engineers with bachelor’s degrees¹, soyour investment pays off quickly.1-year accelerated mechanical engineering master’sprograms are offered in automotive engineering, modelingand simulation in mechanical engineering and mechanicalengineering.¹U W–Madison Academic Planning and Institutional Research Dataviz (in partnership with the U.S. Census Bureau and theInstitute for Research on Innovation and Science.)

Automotive EngineeringGraduate with your master’s, ready to work on the development of internal combustionengines for the automotive, heavy equipment or recreational engine sectors. UW–Madisonis home to the Engine Research Center, a world-renowned institute for engine research anddevelopment. Courses emphasize in-cylinder energy conversion processes. Students learn: – Fundamentals of energy conversion processes with an emphasis on internal combustionengines – Data collection and analysis of internal combustion engine data – 1-D and 3-D fluid dynamics modelingElectives within this discipline can be chosen to explore the area in more detail or diveinto related topics such as controls, electro-magnetic energy conversion or environmentalimpacts. A summer practicum rounds out the requirements and combines a hands-onlaboratory course with a hands-on modeling course.Modeling and Simulation inMechanical EngineeringThe master’s program in modeling and simulation is for the engineer with strong computerskills who is interested in building models and using simulation to solve complex engineeringproblems. Much of the coursework is based on research being conducted through theDepartment of Mechanical Engineering. In addition to core and foundational courses,students choose electives that align with their educational and career aspirations. Studentswill learn: – Fundamentals of computing and simulation concepts – Application of high performance computing to engineering problems – Modeling and simulation application to thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer,solid mechanics, biomechanics and manufacturingAT A GLANCEDEGREE CONFERREDMaster of Science inMechanical EngineeringFORMATOn campusTIMELINE1 yearTUITIONResident and non-resident 1,200 per creditAdditional fees may applyAPPLICATION DEADLINEDecember 15STARTFallgo.wisc.edu/eng-mechanical 3

A program built for youThe most desirable engineering jobs—the ones that offerchallenges, interesting work and the greatest financial rewards—often require a master’s degree. The accelerated engineeringmaster’s program is a popular choice for engineers who want toearn their master’s by adding as little as a single year of study atUW–Madison. There’s no thesis required: this master’s programis for engineers whose goal is to put their knowledge to use intheir field rather than go into research or academia.Attending school for an additional year to obtain a master’s has itsadvantages: – You’re used to studying a challenging discipline – You’ll be building on material you recently learned – You may have fewer distractions, such as work or family, than ifyou wait – The additional expense is offset by greater income potential inyour first jobContribute to your field from the startUW–Madison’s College of Engineering graduate school has a stellar reputation: U.S. News & World Report includesit among the top-ranked programs in the nation.² It’s a leading research institution so you’ll be on top of the latestdevelopments and trends in your field while you learn from top-notch faculty.² U.S. News & World Report 2020 ranking of “Best Engineering Graduate Schools.”go.wisc.edu/eng-mechanical 5

Enjoy BIG 10 sports, scenic lakes,culture and moreIf you’re not already a Badger, you’re in for a great experience when you go red. UW–Madison athleticsare legendary. In fact, Sports Illustrated recently ranked UW–Madison as the best college football townin the country.3 The campus is always buzzing with the activity you’d expect from a Big-10 school. Enjoythe outdoors all year round, or indulge your taste for the arts in galleries, theaters and music venues.Partake in a thriving food and craft beer scene as well. Madison is a vibrant city with much to offer.3Sports Illustrated, August 2019.go.wisc.edu/eng-mechanical 6

Accelerated vs. traditional master’sWhat’s different about the accelerated program? – Takes 1–11/2 instead of 2–3 years – Students specialize in an area of interest – Industry-focused rather than research-focused – Paid assistantships not available – Thesis not requiredWhat do the programs have in common? – All classes on campus – 30 graduate credits earned – Master of science degree conferred – Taught by renowned faculty – Learn from research being conducted on campusWe’re here to help you succeedFor information and insight on accelerated engineering master’sprograms, contact Jesus Cortez at jesus.cortez@wisc.edu orcall/text/WhatsApp 608-509-6208.Jesus CortezEnrollment Coachgo.wisc.edu/eng-mechanical 7
