I have a friend who studied math in undergrad and says if he could go back and do it all over again, he'd choose engineering. So I was wondering if there are any engineering masters programs that would work for someone with an advanced math background, but no exposure to engineering.

lol he would choose engineering???
and yes, masters of engineering programs will admit someone with an advanced math background
MIT graduate admissions requirements
depends on the engineering type. a comp engineering/comp sci grad program most likely won't admit someone without programming or circuits/algo knowledge.
..
Not sure. What types could he get a masters degree in?
Yes, usually. Not sure if this was intended to be relevant to finance, but if so, math is usually fine for undergrad (esp. S&T, prop trading, and other quant areas).
He's not trying to work in finance. He wants to be an engineer.
..
physics or math ug yes. Its my understanding that they prefer physics students over engineers for grad work

For liberal arts kids. I'm sure there are others.
Former engineer here.
The answer to this question really depends on what courses he's taken for UG. IMO, these are the majors he's eligible for: - CS masters: If he knows programming (atleast 1 each of data-structures, discrete math, algorithms, and maybe functional programming (requirement varies between universities)) he's absolutely eligible for a CS masters. - Operations Research - Probably his best bet. - Electrical masters: Electrical Eng. is a huge field in terms of breath. To be eligible for any sub-field, though, he needs to have atleast had some exposure to analog and digital circuits. He also needs to have taken a few courses in the area he plans to specialize in (computer architecture for comp eng., device physics for semiconductors, transistor theory/vlsi for circuits). The most mathematical fields in Electrical are Information Theory and Signal Processing - if he's had some exposure to either, he'd be a great match for this with a math ug.
Some universities have some weird ass majors like Info Sciences that have less stringent requirements, but these majors usually don't place well into good engineering jobs.
