About the course

The Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering offers a program of graduate study leading to a Master of Science in Engineering (M.S.) degree with a major in Renewable and Clean Energy. This increasingly critical field of engineering focuses on alternative energy technologies that hold promise of becoming a substantial source of energy for the United States. The Renewable and Clean Energy program includes courses on many types of alternative energy systems, in addition to courses on fundamental concepts related to energy. Included in this program are courses on fuel cells, solar energy, wind power, hydrogen fuel, energy conversion, energy materials, energy efficiency, thermodynamics, etc. The intent of this program is to train the next generation of renewable and clean energy engineers and to develop research in the area of renewable and clean energies.

How to apply

Entry requirements for Wright State University

To be considered for admission to the M.S.E. in Renewable and Clean Energy program, students must first satisfy basic admission requirements of the School of Graduate Studies. For regular degree status, this includes having a bachelor's degree in engineering or a related area with an overall undergraduate grade point average of at least 2.7 (on a 4.0 scale) or an overall undergraduate grade point average of at least 2.5 with an average of 3.0 or better for the last 60 semester hours (90 quarter hours) earned toward the undergraduate degree.

　　Acceptable undergraduate degrees include any four-year engineering degree and many science and math degrees that require at least three semesters of calculus and a differential equations course. Students who did not complete the following prerequisite courses in their undergraduate program may be permitted to take them after admission to the Renewable and Clean Energy program:

　　Thermodynamics I (at Wright State this would be ME 3310/5310)

　　Fluid Dynamics (at Wright State this would be ME 3350/5350)

　　Heat Transfer (at Wright State this would be ME 3360/5360)

　　Materials Science (at Wright State this would be ME 2700)

　　The Renewable and Clean Energy graduate program requires students from non-ABET accredited undergraduate programs to submit general GRE test scores. Please visit http://www.abet.org for additional information on accreditation. International students must also have a TOEFL score of at least 79(IBT)/ 213(CBT)/ 550(PBT). These scores should be sent to the Wright State International Admissions office (244 Student Union, Wright State University, Dayton OH 45435).

　　While the criteria listed above offer general guidelines, program admission decisions are based on complete application information including overall academic performance and standardized test scores where applicable. Personal statements and letters of recommendation are not required, but applicants are welcome to include them. Application tracking is done through the Graduate School's website, rather than at the department level. If you are unsure whether you meet the requirements listed above, you must apply for the program before your credentials can be reviewed, i.e. the department cannot advise prospective students on whether to apply.
