The Master of Engineering Program in Structural Science at Cornell University is a cutting edge educational curriculum that provides its students with a firm foundation in solid mechanics, applied mathematics, computational mechanics, uncertainty quantification and scientific computing. The program is aimed at educating highly qualified and well prepared engineers with a firm grasp of the latest techniques in Structural Science for advanced practice within leading firms, national laboratories, and government agencies.
A comprehensive project involving: a real-world problem, an industry adviser, and integrating work in two or more graduate course projects, is an important element of the curriculum. Examples of such projects include: structural system solutions supporting deployment of a reusable launch vehicle (RLV); the structural health monitoring and prognosis of a high speed littoral combat ship (LCS); structural failure investigation and/or non-destructive evaluation; as well as many others.
Because of the project timetable, applications for the MEng program in Structural Engineering will be accepted for Fall admission only.
