录取要求

Admission Requirements

All standards of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Graduate School apply (see the General Application Instructions). Department requirements may exceed the Graduate School requirements in certain cases.

GRE scores are required for admission into the department. Successful applicants usually have GRE scores of Verbal Reasoning ³ 150, Quantitative Reasoning ³ 155, and Analytic Writing ³ 3.5. All students are considered for admission based on their overall application of which the GRE is one component.

Prospective students must have a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. Students with a Bachelor of Science in other engineering or physical and natural science disciplines will be considered for admission on an individual basis. Upon acceptance, students without Mechanical Engineering Bachelor of Science degrees may be required to complete one or more courses in addition to degree requirements to satisfy any deficiencies.

Students need a minimum grade point average of 3.2 based on the 4.0 point system or equivalent for the last 60 credits taken towards the undergraduate degree. Applicants with GPAs greater than 3.0 but less than 3.2 may be considered for admission. Applicants with an undergraduate grade point average below 3.0 may be considered based on years spent performing related engineering work.

For International Applicants

International applicants must have a degree comparable to a regionally accredited U.S. bachelor’s degree.

Every applicant whose native language is not English, or whose undergraduate instruction was not in English, must provide an English proficiency test score. For detailed requirements see the Graduate School Admission Requirements.

International applicants are required to have adequate financial resources to cover expenses for the duration of their studies at UW–Madison. Do not send any financial statements to the program. The Graduate School will request the documents through your online status check page. For more information see the Graduate School International Applicant Financial Information.

International applicants are required to identify three Mechanical Engineering faculty members whose research topics are of interest. Please check our website to locate the faculty (only those listed with titles of Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Professor, can serve as graduate student advisors). Find three faculty who have research interests that align closely with your own. You will need to list the last names of the faculty you have selected in your supplementary application. Please only list the last names. Do not list faculty that are listed as Professor Emeritus. You are encouraged to check the websites of faculty and contact faculty members directly by email to enquire about funding opportunities. If a faculty member offers to be your advisor, ask them to email their acceptance to (megradadmission@engr.wisc.edu).

Minimum TOEFL requirement: 92 internet (iBT); 580 paper-based test (PBT)

Minimum IELTS requirement: 7.0

Minimum MELAB requirement: 82

专业介绍

The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers Master of Science degrees in Mechanical Engineering with a thesis option or a course option, accelerated named options in Automotive Engineering and Modeling and Simulation in Mechanical Engineering, and an online named option in Controls. An online Master of Engineering named option in Polymer Science is also offered. The thesis option and course option MS degrees take approximately two years to complete. The thesis option has a significant research component giving students valuable hands on research experience with mentoring by faculty in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The course-option MS degree has a stronger focus on coursework but also requires at least three credits of independent study mentored by faculty in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The named options in Automotive Engineering and Modeling in Simulation in Mechanical Engineering are accelerated one-year programs. For more information on those programs click on their program links above. For more information on the online controls or polymer science named options visit their program websites.
