Temple University

Temple University, College of Engineering

Temple University is a comprehensive public research university comprised of 17 schools and colleges. The University has 5 regional campuses; with the main campus located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As the second largest city on the east coast, Philadelphia is filled with restaurants, clubs, shopping, museums, parks, theaters, and music venues. The city is also on the cutting-edge of science and technology.

The College of Engineering is located at Temple’s main campus. Within the College, one can find the following facilities and resources:

  • a computer laboratory
  • wireless classrooms
  • cutting-edge research laboratories
  • an engineering library

The College offers graduate programs leading to the following degrees:

  • MSE in Civil Engineering
    This degree program is designed to provide students with the opportunity to develop a greater technical competency in several major areas of practice in Civil Engineering. Students can choose from the Civil Engineering Systems track or the Environmental Engineering track. Areas of research include physical-chemical processes; biological treatment processes; and surface, groundwater, and hydrology water resources.
  • MSE in Electrical Engineering
    The Electrical and Computer Engineering Department offers advanced practice- oriented graduate level education and research concentrations in Computer Architecture and Microelectronics, Digital Signal Processing and Digital Data Communication, and Intelligent Systems and Control. Areas of research include wireless networks, energy systems, and network security.
  • MSE in Mechanical Engineering
    The Mechanical Engineering Department offers graduate level education and research concentrations in Bioengineering and Advanced Materials, Fluidics and Energetics, and Dynamic Systems and Design. Areas of research include composite materials and design, fluidics and energetics, and targeted drug delivery and tissue engineering.
  • MS in Bioengineering
    The MS in Bioengineering is an interdisciplinary degree program that is suitable for students with an engineering background as well as for students with backgrounds in biological or physical sciences. Students can take appropriate courses offered within the various engineering departments or from other departments at Temple, such as the Departments of Chemistry and Biology. Areas of research include biomaterials, targeted drug delivery, and biomechanics.
  • Ph.D. in Engineering
    The Ph.D. in Engineering degree program is designed for students who have graduate-level training in engineering, the sciences, or mathematics, and who wish to carry out doctoral-level research in engineering. The Ph.D. in Engineering degree may be earned through study in any of the departments in the College; however, as engineering research is an inherently interdisciplinary activity, faculty associated with the Ph.D. in Engineering are drawn from all departments in the College.

Students pursuing a master’s degree must complete a minimum of 30 semester hours and complete either an independent research project or a thesis. Students pursuing a Ph.D. must complete a minimum of 30 semester hours of coursework beyond their master's degree and a dissertation.

Master’s degrees can be completed part-time or full-time. Teaching assistantships, research assistantships, and fellowships are available to qualified applicants.
