This program makes it possible for a qualified student anywhere in the world to pursue the Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering through the Internet from either home or work. The program fully integrates the online students into the existing graduate classes.
Online students have the same assignments, deadlines, and examinations as local students.
All lectures are transmitted live over the Internet, allowing online students to ask questions during the lectures. Professors may be contacted during office hours by means of video conferencing to discuss lectures, research projects and other issues. Although online students do not actually move to Tallahassee, Florida, they are part of the College of Engineering in all respects. The College of Engineering is jointly operated by the state universities in Tallahassee. Florida State University has an enrollment of over 30,000 students and is a leading Research I University.
