COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, TECHNOLOGY, & PHYSICAL SCIENCES
MASTER OF ENGINEERING
In
M A T E R I E L E N G I N E E R I N G
The Departments of Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical
Engineering collectively offer a graduate program
leading to the Master of Engineering (M.ENG.)
degree in Materiel Engineering. Materiel is defined
as the equipment, apparatus, and supplies used by an
organization. Materiel engineering involves the
design, production, test and evaluation, distribution,
operation and support, and ultimate disposition of
man-made equipment, apparatus, and supplies, and,
as such, is highly interdisciplinary.
With this graduate degree, students are provided with
enhanced opportunities for professional development
and career advancement. The company benefits from
having a better skilled, more adaptable, and satisfied
career employee.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
This program is intended for individuals holding a
bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited
institution in any area of engineering, mathematics,
physics, or related sciences.
Applicants must also provide two letters of
recommendation and submit details of any professional work experience. Students from non-English
speaking countries are required to have a minimum
score of 61 iBT, or 500 PBT on the Test of English
as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).
Regular Admission
To be admitted with regular status to the Master of
Engineering program, an applicant must:
1. Hold a bachelor’s degree in an engineering
program from an accredited ABET program.
2. Provide evidence of an overall Grade Point
Average (GPA) of at least 3.00 on a scale of
4.00, or have passed the Fundamentals of
Engineering (FE) Examination.
3. Minimum of GRE scores of 148 on the quantitative
portion and 294 on the combined verbal and
quantitative portions.
Conditional Admission
Applicants who do not meet the requirements for
regular admission may be granted conditional
admission. Students who are conditionally admitted
must fulfill specific requirements stipulated in their
letter of admission. Conditional admission status may
be granted to applicants with:
1. Applicants with a bachelor’s degree in engineering
may receive conditional admission provided their
GPA is at least 2.5 on all under-graduate engineering courses attempted.
2. Degrees in Other Fields. Individuals with a
bachelor’s degree in physics, mathematics, computer science, chemistry, or other fields closely
related to engineering may receive conditional
admission.
3. All students admitted conditionally are required to
earn a minimum grade of ’B’ in each deficiency
course to progress to regular admission. Students
who fail to meet this requirement will be dismissed
from the program.
GRE Waiver
Applicants to the Master of Engineering in Materiel
Engineering program who meet the following criteria
are eligible for a waiver of the Graduate Record Exam
(GRE). The eligibility for the waiver is based on the
undergraduate cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above on a 4.0 scale,
and a minimum of three years of relevant professional
experience. Every applicant is reviewed for the waiver when
the application is received; however, a resume is required.
The resume should include applicant’s employment history,
professional accomplishments, and three references, one of
which must be a supervisor who is familiar with the
applicant’s professional experience. Send your resume to
michael.ayokanmbi@aamu.edu.
