- Description
- This M.S. program with thesis is designed to prepare students for a professional career and/or eventual pursuit of a doctoral degree. Students entering the program typically hold an accredited bachelor’s degree in an appropriate branch of engineering. Students completing the M.S. degree will write a thesis based on a research topic chosen by the student and a professor who serves as the academic adviser. The corresponding thesis, independently written by the student as a single author, must be approved by the adviser as well as two additional committee members from the department’s faculty (Master’s Committee). A thesis defense will be presented to this committee.
