MS and PhD in Mechanical Engineering
Distance learning research-based degrees at both the master's and doctoral level are designed to ensure fidelity to these relationships and thus maintain the high standards of Michigan Tech graduate degrees. The public defense of theses, dissertations, reports and projects should preferably occur on campus. Students in partnered programs may take up to one-third of the required coursework credits from other universities provided the course plan is approved in advance of course registration. These degrees are only open to those living and/or working in the US.

Graduate Certificate in Hybrid Electric Drive Vehicle Engineering
Michigan Tech is offering a new professional graduate program focusing on hybrid electric drive vehicle (HEDV) engineering. This Master of Engineering program provides advanced knowledge and hands-on laboratories in the design, analysis, control, calibration, and operating characteristics of HEDVs. Most courses are available through distance learning. A Certificate option and non-degree coursework is also available.

Master of Science in Electrical Engineering
An MSEE requires 30 credits of graduate course work. The rules and regulations covering the degree can be found on the Grad School's web page and the ECE Dept's web site. Of the 30 credits required, 20 must be from Michigan Tech. Over a four year period we offer a minimum of 21 course credits in Electric Power. The faculty will work with you to identify other courses, either at Michigan Tech or other universities, to fill out of your degree program.

Master of Science in Applied Science Education
The program is designed to serve practicing teachers who are teaching another science and are interested in teaching Earth/space science in the future, or interested in working toward an advanced degree in science education. Participating teachers will develop the skills necessary to engage students in learning about Earth/space science and will meet the requirements for highly qualified status.

Master of Science in Integrated Geospatial Technology
A new interdisciplinary, master's program is now being offered that will prepare students from a variety of backgrounds for careers in surveying, photogrammetry, remote sensing, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), terrestrial laser scanning industries, and for allied areas that require knowledge and understanding of the acquisition, processing, and analysis of spatially referenced data. The majority of courses are offered online and degree options include a traditional thesis, a practicum with a company or a course-based plan of study.

Physics Classes Online
Students watch recorded, online lectures and demonstrations through the internet at times of their choosing, and complete weekly quizzes through an Internet-based homework tool. Students can “meet” with instructors though chat rooms, email, and other arranged methods for questions and course discussion. Exams are also taken through the Internet.
