Project Track MS Program - DigiTwin 2024 for Manufacturing Sustainability, Safety, and Resilience - Purdue University

Overview

The project track of the MSECE professional master's program, designed with significant input from industry, will allow you to develop technical and professional skills to accelerate your career advancement in industry or prepare you for success in Ph.D. studies. The 2-semester Concept to Innovation Project courses (C2I-1, C2I-2) provide an opportunity to develop technical depth via a team project that is comparable in scope to a six-credit MS thesis but focused on engineering design rather than research. Through the C2I courses and other track-specific courses, you will also develop project definition, prototype build and validation, project management and writing/presentation skills which are highly valued in industry.
