Applying for M.S. or M.Eng in Material Engineering

[ChuangJ]

Good Evening Everyone,

 

I just have a few questions or my concerns on the application process for master vs PHD.

 

I can easily find many information and useful resources when I look at applying for Doctorate degree. However, I barely see any for Master degree especially M.S. or M.Eng.

 

What kind of criteria or traits do M.S. committees looking from its candidates?

 

When writing on SoP, do I have to focus my story on Research Experience or The goal i wish to achieve from attending the programs.

 

Do the M.S committees also value the same criteria as same as Doctorate committees (Grad School)?

 

Thanks

 

Basically, is the whole admission process (Master) the same as normal Graduate program (PHD)?
