Engineering, MS
Alternative Energy, Applied Engineering, Automation, Electrical Engineering, Engineering Projects, Innovation, Mechanical Engineering, Photovoltaics, Robotics, Social Entrepreneurship, Solar, Sustainability, Systems Engineering, approved for STEM-OPT extension, design
In the MS program in engineering, students develop applied analytical expertise across disciplinary boundaries, with direct applications of advanced design principles to system design, management and control.
The student's expertise, developed through the core curriculum, is reinforced with the flexibility of focus area options that include alternative energy, mechanical engineering and electrical engineering.
The culminating experience options are also flexible, allowing students to tailor the program to support their specific career goals while also becoming problem-solvers who create and shape the future.
This program may be eligible for an Optional Practical Training extension for up to 36 months. This OPT work authorization term may help international students gain skills and experience in the U.S. Those interested in an OPT extension should review ASU degrees that qualify for the STEM-OPT extension at ASU's International Students and Scholars Center website.
The OPT extension only applies to students on an F-1 visa and does not apply to students completing the degree through ASU Online.

Engineers collaborate on interdisciplinary teams to design, manufacture and deliver innovative technological products and services. Program graduates possess not only sophisticated engineering technical skills but also the important professional skills of communication, teamwork and collaboration, and the adaptability that many employers seek.
Graduates are prepared to work in large corporations, government agencies and small businesses, as well as to pursue a doctorate degree. Due to the emphasis on design and project-based learning, the program supports an entrepreneurial spirit, and some graduates start companies of their own.
