Emphasis - Materials Science and Engr.
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 - Materials Science and Engr.
Description
A M.S. in engineering science with emphasis in materials science 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 materials science and engineering can be completed as either a thesis or nonthesis option. The thesis option requires a minimum of 24 hours of course work as specified and approved by the student’s adviser and 6 hours minimum of thesis credit. A nonthesis “project option” entails 27 hours of approved course work and 3 hours of a research project, plus a written report on the project and a comprehensive oral exam covering the project and all course work.
Other Academic Requirements
For either option, a candidate must pass a final oral examination.
Degree Requirements
