The requirements for the M.S. degree in Engineering: Mechanical: Energy are listed below. Each student’s program of study will be developed by
the student’s committee as an individualized program and will be constructed in accordance with sound academic practices to provide the kind of
study most suitable to the student’s needs. The proposed program must be submitted on a Program of Study form to The Graduate School office
for approval during the first semester of coursework. It is that program, rather than the example which follows, which will constitute the student’s
graduation requirements. Candidacy for the degree is typically filed in the semester prior to the student’s anticipated graduation semester.
The general guidelines for the M.S. degree in engineering are as follows:
Area I
Mathematics or Engineering Analysis
Area II
Area III
Area IV
Approved Electives in Mathematics, Science, or Engineering
Engineering Concentration
