Emphasis - Computational Hydroscience
M.S. in Engineering Science
Description
The M.S. in engineering science is offered in a number of emphasis areas: aeroacoustics, chemical engineering, civil engineering, computational hydroscience, computer science, electrical engineering, electromagnetics, environmental engineering, geology, geological engineering, hydrology, mechanical engineering, material science and engineering, and telecommunications.
Minimum Total Credit Hours: 30
Course Requirements
A student must complete the requirements for an emphasis area. For most emphasis areas, the degree may be completed as either a thesis option (30-hour program, to include 6 hours of thesis) or nonthesis option (30- hour program, to include a minimum of 3 hours of a design-oriented project course).
Emphasis - Computational Hydroscience
Description
A M.S. in engineering science with an emphasis in computational hydroscience and engineering prepares a student with advanced technical knowledge and communication skills for pursuing a career in industry, engineering research and development, public service, or for doctoral work.
Course Requirements
The M.S. with emphasis in computational hydroscience and engineering can be completed as either a thesis or nonthesis option.
The thesis option entails 24 credit hours of course work (plus at least 6 thesis hours), including 12 hours of core courses in numerical methods, fluid dynamics, transport phenomena, and hydrosciences, and 12 hours of approved electives.
The nonthesis option includes an additional 3 hours of approved electives, as well as completion of a research project and report. Both options require the publication of a technical paper in either a journal or a conference proceeding; attendance and presentation at research seminars; and passing the comprehensive oral exam.
Other Academic Requirements
For either option, a candidate must pass a final oral examination.
Degree Requirements
