Engineering challenges often involve more than 1 technical question. They can include data, systems, mechanics, computing, materials, research, and legal concerns that must be considered together. Liberty University’s Master of Engineering (MEng) is an online graduate program designed to help you study advanced engineering topics through applied coursework. If you are searching for an MEng degree with a practical focus, this program can help you explore engineering from a broad technical perspective.

This online engineering master’s program is a great option if you have already earned a bachelor’s degree in engineering. The curriculum focuses on computational aspects of graduate-level mechanical engineering. You can study topics such as numerical methods, advanced differential equations, finite element analysis, mechanics, computing languages, machine learning, systems engineering, engineering law, and research. For students comparing master’s in engineering options, this degree offers a focused online path grounded in applied technical study.

At Liberty, your graduate engineering coursework will connect analysis with professional responsibility. You can examine how engineering decisions are shaped by data, modeling, legal issues, communication, and ethical reasoning. Our master’s degree in engineering also includes coursework that explores how Christian worldview perspectives can inform engineering design and management decisions. Through our flexible format, you can pursue advanced study while maintaining your current responsibilities.

Academic quality matters when you are choosing an engineering master’s degree. Liberty University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). Not only that, but Liberty’s master’s in engineering program is led by faculty with practical experience in the field and a zeal to carry on our mission of Training Champions for Christ.

Additionally, Liberty’s online format supports students like you who are active in engineering or engineering-related industries. You can study technical topics that connect computation, mechanics, systems thinking, and research. You can also examine legal and ethical issues that can affect engineering work in professional settings.


Advanced engineering depends on strong mathematical and computational reasoning. In Liberty’s master’s-level engineering curriculum, you can study numerical methods, advanced differential equations, and finite element analysis. These topics can help you examine how engineers model technical problems, analyze behavior, and evaluate solutions. You can also explore mechanics through topics such as statics, dynamics, strength of materials, forces, moments, motion, stress, and strain.

Computing is another major part of our engineering master’s program. You can study computing languages such as Python, MATLAB, C, C++, and Fortran while examining programming language structure, data types, control structures, compilers, and interpreters. Coursework in advanced data analysis and machine learning can help introduce methods used to support artificial intelligence and data-driven analysis. These areas can help you explore how computational tools aid engineering decisions.

Systems engineering coursework will help you examine how technical systems are designed, evaluated, and managed across their life cycle. You can consider a total-systems view that accounts for users, requirements, operational needs, and connected components. This perspective can help you look beyond isolated calculations and consider how engineering decisions affect larger systems. For students comparing an online MS in Engineering path with a professional MEng, this applied systems focus is an important distinction.

Additionally, Liberty’s online MEng program includes legal and professional topics. You can study contracts, intellectual property law, patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, ethics, and other legal matters important to engineers. Topics like these can help you understand how engineering work intersects with ownership, innovation, compliance, and professional responsibility.

Research and communication are built into the curriculum as well. You can either examine research process fundamentals or study statistical analysis for engineering operations. The program also includes coursework that addresses God, science, and creation in relation to engineering design and management decisions. Together, these topics create a graduate engineering experience that connects computation, research, mechanics, ethics, and applied professional practice.
