A student must complete the requirements for an emphasis area. For most emphasis areas, the degree may be completed as a:

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.
