This current MENG concentration is not eligible for UConn visa sponsorship. Please contact ISSS for more information regarding programs that allow UConn visa sponsorship at international@uconn.edu.

The Master of Engineering “General Engineering” concentration is a multidisciplinary program of study with an online learning modality with synchronous and asynchronous coursework. This is particularly attractive to practicing engineers and professionals in related fields who seek a wider base of knowledge. The MENG in General Engineering requires students to complete 30 credits of graduate level study.  Students in this degree concentration will be required to study a set of core disciplines, as well as a range of elective courses. A graduate of the Master of Engineering General Engineering concentration may be employed in a range of specialized occupations, which may depend on their previous engineering experience and education, as well as their graduate-level concentration options. Upon graduation, students may be more competitive candidates for a wide range of engineering related careers. 

The Master of Engineering (MENG) degree emphasizes improvement of essential technical and professional development skills, while a traditional Master of Science degree emphasizes research or a comprehensive understanding of a research area. The Master of Engineering program is designed for practicing engineers who prefer to attend classes in the evenings and on a part-time basis. This affords engineers the opportunity for a graduate level education without workplace interruptions.

The program consists of 30 credit hours:

• 9 credits of Master of Engineering Core Courses
  • ENGR 5311 - Professional Communication & Information Management – 3 credits
  • ENGR 5312 - Engineering Project Planning & Management – 3 credits
  • ENGR 5314 - Advanced Engineering Mathematics – 3 credits (or) CSE 5500 - Algorithms - 3 credits
• 18 credits of Engineering Courses
• 3-credit MENG Capstone Project (ENGR 5315)
