Unique engine-centered master's program graduates first class
A master of engineering program that began out of a lunch conversation between University of Wisconsin-Madison faculty and industry professionals is graduating its first class of 10 students this week. The program, the Master of Engineering in Engine Systems (MEES), focuses on mid-career professionals looking to gain a broad knowledge of engines and uses an online format that allows them to maintain their careers while earning the degree. Six of the 10 graduates come from Wisconsin-based companies such as Harley Davidson, Briggs & Stratton and Mercury Marine.... While many companies that have enrolled students in the program are Wisconsin-based, Hoag says the program is becoming more national and international as it ages, with two non-graduating students in the program taking courses from Dominica and India.
