PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

Candidates for the M.S.E. program complete eight courses for a grade. One of these courses may be MAE 503 Directed Research.  Students are also expected to write an acceptable thesis. The thesis is central to the program and is considered an integral aspect of graduate education in the field. It is the culmination of prior training and research and is expected to address a realistic and important problem. The thesis must be presented in good literary form and be written in good English. The technical quality is also expected to be high and differs from that expected for the Ph.D. only in the quantity of material presented. The M.S.E. program typically covers two years. The number of master’s students admitted each year is limited. 

Candidates for this program generally provide their own financial support.
