Can I get an MS in Mechanical Engineering?

[schnitzel_fest]

Hi All,

I have a BS in Math, an MS in Stats and working towards an MS in Applied Math. However, I always wanted to be a mechanical engineer, just the financial circumstances did not allow me to do so. I am 25 right now and I was thinking if I could get a graduate mechanical engineering degree. My math background is pretty strong. I have taken courses in:

Real Analysis (5 courses, 3 A's, 2 B's, two of them graduate level)

Measure theory (2 courses, 2 A's all graduate level)

Applied math (A, graduate)

PDE (A+, graduate)

This semester I will take Probability Theory (Measure Theoretic) and Functional Analysis. Does anyone know if it is even possible for me to get an ME degree.

It's definitely possible to get a graduate degree in Mechanical Engineering without an undergrad engineering degree. However, it's usually a minimum requirement to have the core ME undergrad coursework - thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, vibrations, control systems, etc.

Some schools allow you to make up deficient coursework before you're fully admitted. If you're a strong candidate I'm sure you can find a program.
