One-year master’s degrees are now being offered in bioengineering, chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, industrial /systems engineering and mechanical engineering, as well as computer science.

  2. That is Great!
    I wish this could be an online process as well. I need my masters but can only take classes online. Would this be possible? I teach mechanical engineering technology and is the reason why online classes work best for me.

  3. This is excellent news!
