Princeton's MAE master's funded?

<p>Anyone know if princeton’s mechanical and aerospace engineering master’s program provides funding for master’s students?</p>

<p>Odds are that will depend on which advisor you have. For example, it is entirely possible that Lex Smits would tend to fund his master’s students while Richard Miles doesn’t or vice versa. I am not saying this is the case, but it very well could be. The only way this isn’t the case is if the department universally does not fund master’s students. I would just email someone at the department who might know, like an information director or something.</p>

<p>Like most graduate programs, the PhD is funded, but only one of the two master’s programs is (the MAE MSE (thesis) may be funded, and the MAE M.Eng (non-thesis) is definitely not).</p>

<p>More googling reveals:
<a href=“http://www.princeton.edu/mae/graduate/programoptions/[/url]”>http://www.princeton.edu/mae/graduate/programoptions/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>The MSE theis option is fully funded and limited (I would assume maybe just as competitive as the PhD program), the M.Eng option is not funded.</p>

<p>boneh3ad, have you met Prof. Lex Smits before?
He is someone I would like to work with during graduate school.</p>
