How important is earning a degree from the Naval Postgraduate School? Our Nation, our very way of life is at stake. The U.S. remains the world’s only superpower not merely because of her sophisticated weaponry and technology: the weapons, the technology, all are useless without the people trained to understand and apply them.
History has shown that societies and cultures which cease to innovate, perish. The furtherance of your technical acumen and insight will therefore play a vital role in service to the Nation.
Admiral Kirkland H. Donald
Director, Naval Reactors

Master of Science Engineering Science (Mechanical Engineer) (MSES-ME) Degree Program (Curriculum 572)
The Master of Science in Engineering Science (Mechanical Engineering) MSES-ME provides students with scientific and technical knowledge of mechanical engineering. Students will gain an understanding of the role that engineering and technology have in military operations environment. Emphasis is on naval engineering and its applications to surface vessels, submarines, and spacecraft.
Skills/knowledge gained: The ability to identify, formulate, and solve technical and engineering problems in mechanical and astronautical engineering and other engineering disciplines—examples: thermal-fluid sciences, structural mechanics, ship systems engineering, spacecraft designs, and others.
The Master of Science in Engineering Science is part of a proud heritage. On June 9, 1909, Secretary of the Navy George von L. Meyer established a school of marine engineering at Annapolis. This small program, consisting of 10 0fficer students and two Navy instructors, was the first Naval / Mechanical Engineering Program and would later become today's Naval Postgraduate School.
The DL MSES-ME program brings the core of the on-campus courses together with proven DL technology and faculty expertise to deliver a unique curriculum focused on mechanical engineering. |
