Non thesis masters programs in engineering

Graduate School
1

<p>Son is feeling the burn out of second semester sophomore year mechanical engineering. He is a straight A student, first time in his life, and is in a research based honors program. He's feeling that he does not like research and is now considering not pursuing a masters degree as he wants to go right into the traditional work force, not do research. </p>

<p>I've heard that some schools do offer a non thesis masters program in engineering, and son is interested in pursuing that option for grad school. </p>

<p>Would love some feedback from anyone familiar with, currently participating in, or any ideas of schools that have this type of program.</p>

<p>Son is a mechanical engineering major, with an interest in biomedical engineering. Not interested in med school. Wants to design biomedical equipment, anything from orthosis and prosthetics, his current research, to diagnostic equipment.</p>

<p>I’d venture to say MOST schools offer a non-thesis route in engineering, not some. If he’s not interested in research, this would be a great path to further his knowledge in the industry. Also, many companies will reimburse or pay for you to pursue a Master’s degree, with some stipulations.</p>
