Introduction About the On-Site Program Distance Program

INTRODUCTION

The Master of Engineering (MENG) degree is a composite generalist degree merging technical engineering courses with professional development classes. It is targeted to practicing engineers at participating companies and allows the line engineer to earn an engineering master's degree without workday interruptions. Faculty from the School of Engineering at UConn teach courses on the premises or remotely, affording the utmost in educational quality at the greatest convenience.

BACKGROUND

Recognizing that Connecticut industry has a significant need for a continuing graduate education program that is convenient to its workforce, in 1998 UConn's School of Engineering and United Technologies Corporation (UTC) partnered to bring graduate courses on-site to UTC engineers. The program was so successful that in the ensuing years it has been expanded significantly, both in terms of the course offerings and participating companies. A summary of the MENG program's evolution follows:

  • MENG program offers graduate Mechanical Engineering on-site courses on the East Hartford campus of Pratt & Whitney Aircraft
  • MENG program expanded to include Materials Science & Engineering coursework
  • MENG program expanded to include a Chemical Engineering concentration from the UTC Power South Windsor site
  • MENG program expanded to include Civil and Environmental Engineering concentration from Fuss & O'Neill
  • MENG program expands to include synchronous distance classes to UConn satellite campuses
