Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, Engineering, Machine Learning, Mechanical Engineering, Natural Language Processing, Pattern recognition, Robotics, approved for STEM-OPT extension, ethics
Learn the advanced skills needed to apply artificial intelligence and machine learning in mechanical engineering. Take high-demand AI courses and mechanical engineering electives, and select a culminating experience that fits your needs to graduate in one to two years.
The Master of Science program in artificial intelligence engineering with a concentration in mechanical engineering combines advanced study in AI approaches with deep domain expertise in mechanical engineering.
The use of AI approaches, including machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, robotics and pattern recognition, is becoming widespread in many fields, including all engineering disciplines. Yet, the majority of engineering occupations require subject matter expertise beyond AI.
Students learn how to develop and customize relevant AI approaches to mechanical engineering problems. A core curriculum in AI engineering foundations, AI systems and tools, AI ethics and social responsibility, and data collection and evaluation for AI systems is complemented by mechanical engineering-specific courses to ensure breadth and depth in AI and in mechanical engineering.

Admission deadlines
3 year programs
These programs allow students to fast-track their studies after admission and earn a bachelor's degree in three years or fewer while participating in the same high-quality educational experience of a 4-year option. Students should talk to their academic advisor to get started.
Accelerated master's
These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for some programs).
Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Acceptance to the graduate program requires a separate application. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master’s during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
