The M.S. Degree in Engineering (MSE) Motorsports Engineering Major is applicable for either students seeking additional motorsport industry training immediately after completion of their bachelor's degree in an engineering program or for industry professionals wishing to resume their studies to complete a master's degree. The Motorsports Major provides an integrated experience in motorsports with emphasis on race engineering. Students pursuing the Motorsports Major may choose from a course only (non-thesis) option or thesis option requiring a research thesis in an area related to the motorsports industry. Both options require 30 credit hours. The non-thesis program requires a minimum of 30 credit hours of course work, and the thesis program requires a minimum of 21 credit hours of course work in addition to an acceptable research thesis (9 credit). Our motorsports faculty members and instructors are current or recent practicing engineers from the motorsports industry who bring a wealth of experience and knowledge of the latest technology and advancement in the field. Recent instructors have worked for such recognized motorsports teams as Andretti Autosport, Penske Racing, and the Toyota Formula One team. The program provides students with a combination of theoretical, technical, as well as hands-on learning experiences. With training and support from our faculty members and instructors students learn classroom engineering fundamentals supporting motorsports designs, skills in computer modeling and analysis, designing actual components for a racing vehicle, and hands-on opportunities working on actual racing cars and karts.
